Theology of Work and Rest

Catalog description

This course explores the values given to work, contemplation, art and worship in antiquity and modernity, in Hebraic, Jewish and Christian cultures. On the basis of these explorations, it argues that leisure is the basis of culture and that liturgy is the basis of leisure. On this basis, it seeks to introduce a spectrum of Christian reflections on the prerequisites to a sane Economy. (Cross-referenced to STHO 6802 )
