In the midst of the workaday modern world, this book addresses the question, “how can work become a form of prayer?” It is a compilation of Keeble’s insightful essays dealing with the oft-neglected relationship between God and work, spirituality and art, as well as contemplation and action. He focuses on renowned British artists and craftsmen such as poet and engraver William Blake, calligrapher Edward Johnston, sculptor Eric Gill, and key figures of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain. Throughout, Keeble assesses their contributions and insights in the light of the traditional understanding of the arts and crafts— especially as articulated in the writings of “Traditionalist” authors Ananda Coomaraswamy and Frithjof Schuon— wherein laborare est orare (“work is prayer”).
