WORK AND LEISURE IN CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
Ryken, Leland
Multnomah Press, 1987
255 pages

Ryken encourages us to reapply the essence of the Protestant and Puritan understandings of work to contemporary experience. His theology of work is built around five themes—human work as cooperation with God, work as a curse, the sanctity of daily work, work as a calling and work as stewardship. Progress in faith and holiness is more important than advancing in our career. Ryken also argues that work and leisure belong together. Together they make up our lives, and our well-being depends on our satisfaction of both. (This book has been revised as Redeeming the Time: A Christian Approach to Work and Leisure. Baker, 1995.)
