Karola Bartha wkład do teologii pracy
Płachciak, Adam (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
The purpose of this study is to analyse Karl Barth’s contribution to the theology of work. Although the Swiss theologian accepts Protestant classical view of work as a vocation, he develops his own idea of work. Dealing with the subject of human work Barth puts a strong emphasize on a relationship rather than on principles. This is important especially when the theology should provide reasonable arguments against the ideological support of his contemporary culture that created capitalism and the war. The crucial point for Bart’s understanding of human work is the Command of God which calls man for the active life. The author of Church Dogmatics believes that there is a vital connection between God’s calling of man and man’s responsibility in the place of his calling. Such a responsibility must never be reduced just to the fulfilment of man’s professional duties. It requires a total obedience to the concrete call of God in particular circumstances.
