ABSTRACT British mechanical engineer Jack Keiser’s postwar career in industrial education was simultaneously a career in justice work and Christian industrial mission. This paper examines the Christian critique of industry Keiser developed early in his career, as he transitioned in 1949–1950 into his life’s work in firm-based industrial education, and asks how historians of technology might interpret a critique that characterized industry in hyperbolic terms as enslaving or demonic. Keiser’s was part of an international critique connected to three important post-war Christian institutions: Student Christian Movement, the Industrial Mission Movement, and the World Council of Churches. He engaged with justice at both an intimate and a cosmic level, intimately through face-to-face relationships with apprentices and trainees under his supervision, and cosmically by engaging with the biblical prophets through whom God called for justice.

作为工业使命的工程生涯：战后英国的杰克凯泽

摘要 英国机械工程师杰克·凯泽 (Jack Keiser) 的战后工业教育生涯同时是正义工作和基督教工业使命的职业。本文考察了凯泽在其职业生涯早期发展起来的基督教对工业的批判，因为他在 1949 年至 1950 年过渡到他一生从事以企业为基础的工业教育工作，并询问技术史学家如何解释以双曲线术语描述工业的批判为奴役或恶魔。Keiser 是与三个重要的战后基督教机构相关的国际批评的一部分：学生基督教运动、工业宣教运动和世界教会理事会。他通过与他监督下的学徒和受训者面对面的关系，在亲密和宇宙层面上与正义打交道，
