"Gilbert C. Meilaender presents varied readings that explore many of the ways in which human beings have thought about the role of work in life - its meanings, its limits, and its relation to the other obligations, to the life cycle, to play, and to rest. The readings in this volume range in time from the world of ancient Israel and the classical world of Greece and Rome to contemporary American society."--BOOK JACKET.
