"This paper explores the Biblical view of social responsibility and suggests a framework for experientially living both the personal and professional mission and vocational calling to engage in social work. In the postmodern sweep of self-aggrandizement, selfless service to the poor and needy offers those of us poor in spirit an opportunity for revival. Social work among the world’s hurting requires an applied private outreach and offers an unlimited venue for professional practice. As such, this paper reflects a more practical epistemology, rather than a scholarly theological discussion. Both authors have worked for a number of years to assist the Church to understand better the mission and role that social work can play in helping people of the end-time Church to increase our commitment to tireless service for the “least of these.” The paper ends by suggesting that while the poor may benefit from our efforts, we may be the greatest beneficiaries." Presented at the 4th Symposium on the Bible and Adventist Scholarship, in Mexico.
