Spirituality of Work

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The idea that people of religious faith ought to bring their religious values into the workplace, that these values ought to influence the quality of life and important decisions in business, is the premise of this course. Yet what is a good business leader and how does he or she contribute to the common good? How is spirituality rooted in religion and can it be dissociated from it? What does it mean to say that business is a vocation? What is the Christian understanding of work? How do other major religions understand work? What are potential areas of tension in the business world for a person consciously living a spirituality of work? These and other questions are the focus of this course.
