AB - This research concentrates on the concept of calling and vocation as it argues that a new meaning of ‘work not as a means to increase one’s gains, but as an action that contributes to benefit of all,’ is the string of hope in reviving this fragmented society. Based on this argument, This paper, by retrieving Luther’s Theory of Vocation, aims to discuss the reality that the Korean Church has overlooked the benefit of all at the expense of their focus of earning wealth. With this sense, the theory of work, claimed by Luther and religious reformers, will be reexamined. This research also will address the necessity of distancing from flexibility of work based on the knowledge of theology of work. Besides, this paper will not only explore how Protestant ethics partook in the temptation of praise and support of capitalist economy through Weber and Michael Novak, but it also examine how descriptive science and the Internet might lead to discoloration of sound capitalistic spirit and employment instability. Then, this paper will suggest an innovative connection between Christian faith and work in terms of the reinterpretation of old Theory of Vocation and asceticism. These thoughts originated from Jacques Ellul and Hans Jonas’ criticism of civilization of technology on modern understanding of work based on descriptive science. Finally, this study proposes that the old Theory of Vocation and asceticism needs to be the core of Theology of Work.
