To mark the 40th anniversary of John Paul II's encyclical on human
work, published in 1981, a group of globally-recognized scholars
presents the critical aspects of this document and its purpose.
These original essays revisit John Paul II's approach to work in
post-modern society and reconnect the dignity of the working person
to a pursuit of holiness. These authors convey that only when it is
truly Christian can humanism accomplish the lofty ideals it
indicates. This book is a timely contribution to the field of
scholarship that focuses on Catholic Social Thought and is ideally
suited for graduate studies and the reader interested in more
serious questions in Christian theology. Giulio Maspero, "The Bible
