There is currently no shared language of vocation among Catholics
in the developed, post-modern world of Europe and North America.
The decline in practice of the faith and a weakened understanding
of Church teaching has led to reduced numbers of people entering
into marriage, religious life and priesthood. Uniquely, this book
traces the development of vocation from scriptural, patristic roots
through Thomism and the Reformation to engage with the modern
vocational crisis. How are these two approaches compatible? The
universal call to holiness is expressed in Lumen Gentium has been
read by some as meaning that any vocational choice has the same
value as any other such choice; is some sense of a higher calling
part of the Catholic theology of vocation or not? Some claim that
the single life is a vocation on a par with marriage and religious
life; what kind of a theology of vocation leads to that conclusion?
And is the secular use of the word 'vocation' to describe certain
profession helpful or misleading in the context of Catholic
theology?
