WOF 401: A Theology of Work

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?

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.

A listener asks, what do you mean by the term "transcendence," and how does it differ from immanent?
