Historians have long noted the intense debates nineteenth- and twentieth-century scholars had over the concept of work, but few are aware of the medieval debates that set the stage for modern discussions. Indeed, medieval society established the framework within which modern Western ideas about work have grown. It is essential, therefore, that we learn what medieval thinkers had to say on the subject. This study addresses this need by examining the thought of Peter Damian and numerous other religious leaders and groups of the High Middle Ages for evidence of their contributions. The result is a deepening of our historical understanding of the concept of work as well as widening our appreciation of the modern world’s debt to medieval society.

Industry Reviews

"Ranft's" The Theology of Work" is innovative in relation to both theological discussions of work and current discussions of labor in medieval cultural history. It brings to the table a valuable consideration of the deep history of labor in the world of medieval monasticism. Moreover, it pushes this investigation back to an era earlier than is often considered, and adds a detailed meditation on the influence of Peter Damian. Ranft's study should serve as a useful reminder of the range and complexity of medieval debates concerning the category of labor in both religious and lay contexts." -- Ethan Knapp, Ohio State University
