Product Description

This book surveys twentieth century theologies of work, contrasting differing approaches to consider the 'problem of labor' from a theological perspective. It is aimed at theologians concerned with how Christianity might engage in social criticism, as well those who are interested in the connection between Marxist and Christian traditions. It explores debates about labor under capitalism and considers the relationship between divine and human work. Through a thorough reading of "Weber's Protestant Work Ethic", it argues that the triumph of the 'spirit of utility' is crucial to understanding modern notions of work. The book draws on the work of various twentieth century Catholic thinkers, including Josef Pieper, Jacques Maritain, Eric Gill, and David Jones. Is is also published in the new and prestigious "Illuminations" series.
