THEOLOGY OF WORK
: An Exploration
Chenu gave impetus to the doctrine of co-creation that dominated the theology of work in both Catholic and Protestant traditions for the last half of the twentieth century. Chenu begins by emphasizing the discontinuity of the “machine age” with allprevious periods. As a result “the traditional images of potter, blacksmith and peasant with which the Bible furnished the old theologians are not only inadequate, but also lead to resentment against the new technology.” Chenu holds a high view of both human work and modern technology. People transform history into eternity through their work. According to Chenu, earlier Catholic and Eastern theologiansprovide a more helpful “discussion of man’s place in the universe. They observe the substantial connection of his human nature with material nature.” |
