THE LEISURE CRISIS
Oswalt, John
Victor, 1987
167 pages

Oswalt asks, “If for the first time in history we don’t have to work sixty or more hours a week to supply our basic necessities, why do we feel so frantically busy? Why do we feel guilty when we allow ourselves to relax? How should a Christian fill his or her non-working hours? . . . Seeking diversions to escape boredom or finding ways to become more truly human, more deeply Christian?” Oswalt theorizes about God’s view of work and leisure. He attempts to sort cultural from the biblical views of leisure.
