{"product_id":"christian-librarianship-gregory-a-smith-9780786413294","title":"Christian Librarianship: Essays on the Integration of Faith and Profession","description":"\u003cp\u003e Much of the current library literature assumes that professional library service is necessarily neutral-detached from the librarian's philosophical or religious views. By contrast, contributors to this collection assert that librarianship is best practiced as an outworking of spiritual conviction. Accordingly, they discuss principles for integrating Christian faith and librarianship within various contexts, and reflect on professional issues from biblical and theological perspectives. This text will prove beneficial to Christians working in all types of libraries, whether religious or secular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This compilation of 16 essays is divided into two main parts, the first on theory and the second on practice. The first part includes chapters such as \u003ci\u003eA Rationale for Integrating Christian Faith and Librarianship, The Master We Serve: The Call of the Christian Librarian to the Secular Workplace;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Impact of the Christian Faith on Library Service.\u003c\/i\u003e Chapters in the second part include \u003ci\u003eLibrary Encounters Culture, A Christian Approach to Intellectual Freedom in Libraries\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKeeping Sunday Special in the Contemporary Workplace Culture.\u003c\/i\u003e Contributors include William Fraher Abernathy, Rod Badams, Donald G.
