Deputy Director of CASE, Dani Scarratt, considers the writings of Dorothy L. Sayers and C. S. Lewis on the subject of work. Although written mid last century, there is great value in the opinions of these committed Christians.
"Sayers’ thoughts are preserved for us in the transcript of a speech entitled ‘Why Work’, delivered in 1942.[1] Lewis’ essay ‘Good work and good works’ was published in 1959.[2] There is considerable overlap between the two pieces, and it is on these that this discussion focuses: (i) the notion of ‘good work’, especially as it applies to Christians; (ii) the problems industrialised economies throw in the way of a Christian attitude toward and practice of work; and (iii) what Christians can do in response.
