| Sumario: | Following a brief discussion of Erik H. Erikson's (1958) reflections on Martin Luther's redefinitions of work, this article focuses on the theology of work as presented in Marie-Dominique Chenu's (1955, 1963) The Theology of Work. It suggests that Chenu's theology of work provides a valuable foundation for a pastoral theology of work in that it emphasizes the role of work in releasing the potentialities inherent in the material world and in the individual who is engaged in this creative process. It notes Chenu's emphasis on the historical transformation from a craft-oriented to a machine-oriented work environment, on the emergence of a conscious awareness among humans of the effects of work, on Christian understandings of humans as co-creators with God, on humans' creative role in the transformation of the material world, on the role grace plays in the creative process, and on the role of work in human liberation. |
