Although work, in all its diversity, is nevertheless a fundamental aspect of human existence, there are few notable philosophers or theologians who have truly engaged with this topic. Does work ultimately serve only to satisfy basic human needs - or does it point to something more? Can work be seen as a sanctifying activity? Is work a source of joy, toil, penance or punishment? What does work, in its daily practice, mean for human beings and their relationship with God? The theology of work must seek to find answers to these questions; it must endeavour to articulate how God's relationship to human work might be conceived.
