WOF 401: A Theology of Work

<p>Friends, is work something good or bad? Is it central to being human, or a punishment resulting from sin? And how do we understand our work theologically, tying it to God?</p> <p>On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss the Catholic Church’s view toward the dignity of work and the rights of workers, learning from Dorothy Day, St. Josemaría Escrivá, and several recent popes.</p> <p>A listener asks, what do you mean by the term “transcendence,” and how does it differ from immanent?</p> <h2 id="h-links" class="wp-block-heading">Links</h2> <ul> <li><strong><em><a href= "https://wordonfire.org/theologyofbarron?_ga=2.125028490.1223864411.1692633705-1034457484.1641079730&_gac=1.55964121.1692803544.Cj0KCQjw3JanBhCPARIsAJpXTx63hzAekEevv33AokPjwouz6a2W87ThqgeCKtK-wBLfSWHVC42d6SMaApoDEALw_wcB&_gl=1*t8nhhe*_ga*MTAzNDQ1NzQ4NC4xNjQxMDc5NzMw*_ga_4081DYV3TL*MTY5Mjk4MzEwMi43MjEuMS4xNjkyOTgzMTcwLjYwLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "The Theology of Bishop Barron - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">The Theology of Bishop Barron</a></em></strong> by Matthew Levering</li> <li><a href="https://www.wordonfire.org/cst/"><strong><em>Catholic Social Teaching Collection</em></strong></a> by Word on Fire</li> </ul> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity" role="presentation" data-uw-rm-sr="" /> <p><em><strong>NOTE:</strong> Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.
