In chapter 25 of Matthew's gospel, Jesus relates the parable of the talents. Questions that arise from this parable are: Who are the good stewards of today? Whose productive work today qualifies them as good stewards? How are people to use their talents and resources to receive favor from the Master? This book employs the papal social tradition to help determine the nature of the good steward in today's contemporary work life and systematically outlines the papal social vision of work and applies this vision to today's organization.
