Divine Abundance
Divine Abundance is an in-depth analysis of the importance of leisure in human life and in academic culture, seen from a theological and philosophical perspective. The author argues that leisure is not simply inactivity, but a time dedicated to reflection and divine worship, which allows us to receive our lives as a gift and to enter into communion with God. This concept of leisure is fundamental to an authentic academic culture. In addition, practices such as singing and the celebration of the Eucharist are highlighted as crucial elements for the harmony of being and the practice of leisure. In summary, the work presents an enriching vision of leisure as an essential aspect of human life and academic culture, linked to divine worship and communion with God.
