The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work
From Tabernacle to Eucharist
The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work
Description
Through a close reading of Christian scripture, this book examines the theology and ethics of work in light of original biblical exegesis. Kidwell presents a detailed exegetical study of temple construction accounts in the Hebrew bible and the New Testament. He then critically interrogates modern forms of industrial manufacture, including the instrumentalisation and exploitation of the non-human material world and the dehumanisation of workers. Primary themes taken up in the book include agency, aesthetics, sociality, skill, and the material culture of work, culminating with the conclusion that the church (or 'new temple') is both the product and the site of moral work.
