The Spiritual Value of Work of an Academic Teacher

Summary/Abstract: The article focusses on the spiritual value of an academic work, with the term “spiritual” being understood twofold: in a wider and a narrower sense. In the reference to the former meaning, several aspects have been highlighted: moral, personality-related, educational, etc. In a narrower sense, however, references to Christian spirituality have been made, specifically, it discusses academic work as an implementation of the Christian virtue of love, a vocation and a path to holiness. The final part of the article has been devoted to spiritual threats stemming from both, scientific and didactic work at the university. Therefore, it is not so much an attempt to answer the question as to what kind of a lecturer should one be in order to allow the students to benefit as much as possible, but what kind of a spiritual benefit that professional path allows for an academic themselves and to what extent it helps them to develop personally and spiritually.
