Rezensionen
"Eric Dale has written a book that integrates the scholarship of theology and the social sciences. The book presents a compelling analysis of the nature of work in our society and the essential problems we all confront in our everyday work life in modern/postmodern society. The book will enlighten our further scholarship and will assist us in transforming our own work lives. (It) informs us at every point that our work is of spiritual consequence." (Richard Quinney, Northern Illinois University)
