Reflections on Faith, Work, Profession and the Call to Salvation in Western Intellectual History – Early Modern Periods

The social teaching of religions has shaped the bases of cultures for thousands of years. My writing relation between faith and profession that has become the basis of the European citizenship’s worldview through the tradition of Judaism and the social impact of Christianity will be presented by a broad historical arc. Protestantism considers work in the human world a task of life, a prerequisite for an invitation to salvation. What does the Bible teach about this? How did the need for tasks to be accomplished become the basis of moral order? What kind of philosophical explanations link the invitation to salvation and the profession as the everyday, functional level of social utility? Perhaps the most spectacular and best-preserved engineering achievements of a man who turned to God in the light of faith are the buildings erected as eternal symbols of the desire for salvation, the cathedrals.
