Influjo del cristianismo en el concepto antiguo de trabajo.

There is a notable difference between the traditional studies on the notion of work in the Fathers of the Church, of an apologetic spirit, and the analyzes of the world of work in the Ancient Roman Empire. The former affirm that Christianity brought a positive conception of work and the latter minimize the influence of Christianity on the way in which the ancients valued work. A careful reading of the most significant texts shows that the influences were mutual and that with the passage of time the social conditions were modified, which caused an evolution of the positions adopted by each other.
