From the diverse perspectives of their respective authors, the essays contained in Leisure and Labor all provide reminders of what a liberal education is, does, and means for the Catholic university.
Using Josef Pieper's Leisure as a point of departure, the contributors to this volume share a mutual concern for the diminishing role of the liberal arts in Catholic higher education. The overwhelming impression they share is that U.S. Catholic universities, with notable exceptions, have forgotten the very goal of university education, and especially Catholic university education: to aid in forming young men and women to pursue the truth and helping them to become freer persons.

Anthony P. Coleman is assistant professor of theology at Anna Maria College and author of Lactantius the Theologian: Lactantius and the Doctrine of Providence.
