The first [article] by Eligio Santos articulates a spirituality of work based on the life and thought of St. John Bosco. It traces the influence of the humanism of St. Francis de Sales and describes the Salesian approach to work in terms of the following three elements—creation, the Christ-event and community. Such an articulation proves valuable when read against the changing nature and context of work in our world today.  – from the Editor’s Preface
