Dalla libertà delle opere alla vocazione all’impegno diligente. Lavoro e professione in Martin Lutero
This chapter presents an overview of Martin Luther’s doctrine on professional activities developed in On the Freedom of a Christian, To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, and some Postils. This doctrine will eventually be collected in the Augustan Confession, stating the obligation to attend diligently to one’s own Beruf (calling) and paving the way for a general principle of professional ethics. In analysing the author’s elaboration on calling, his insistence on the subjective intention of the performer is highlighted.

However, his elaboration is key to shedding light on professional activity being viewed, and lived, as the main vector of self-realization.
