Abstract:
Human work is a central part of life on Earth. It shapes human activity and guides efforts to build, renew, and improve society. At the heart of work stands the human person, who must be served by labour and its fruits.
Drawing from John Paul II’s encyclical Laborem Exercens, this book reflects on the meaning and social value of work. It reinterprets Catholic social teaching within the Nigerian and postcolonial African context.
