Synopsis

In "Labour: The Divine Command," Leo Tolstoy presents an incisive exploration of labor's moral and spiritual dimensions. At the intersection of philosophy and social criticism, this short yet profound essay grapples with the nature of work and its existential significance. Tolstoy employs a direct and straightforward prose style, echoing the influences of his contemporary social reform movements while steeped in biblical themes. The text challenges the reader to reconsider the intrinsic value of labor beyond material gain, emphasizing its role as a divine command that fosters personal fulfillment and communal well-being. Leo Tolstoy, a titan of Russian literature, was not only a novelist but also a fervent social activist deeply affected by the socio-economic dilemmas of his era. His personal experiences with agrarian life and his socio-economic contemplations, particularly after his conversion to a more austere Christian ethic, led him to reflect critically on the ethics of labor. Tolstoy's belief in the transformative power of work is vividly articulated in this essay, showcasing his profound commitment to promoting social justice and the dignity of the peasant class. This essential read invites scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the philosophical implications of work to engage with Tolstoy's compelling insights. "Labour: The Divine Command" stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of labor in human life, encouraging readers to find meaning in their own work and its capacity for divine connection.

    "Show[s] how deep reading habits help us manage distraction and bring about individual and communal flourishing."--Christianity Today 
     
    This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.  
     
    The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
     
    Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ--such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion--and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deep reading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
