"What am I going to do with my life?" is a question that young
people commonly face, while many not-so-young people continue to
wonder about finding direction and purpose in their lives. Whether
such purpose has to do with what job to take, whether to get
married, or how to incorporate religious faith into the texture of
their lives, Christians down the centuries have believed that God
has plans for them.
This unprecedented anthology gathers select passages on work and
vocation from the greatest writers in Christian history. William
Placher has written insightful introductions to accompany the
selections -- an introduction to each of the four main historical
sections and a brief introduction to each reading. While the
vocational questions faced by Christians have changed through the
centuries, this book demonstrates how the distilled wisdom of these
saints, preachers, theologians, and teachers remains relevant to
Christians today.
This rich resource is to be followed by a companion volume,
edited by Mark R. Schwehn and Dorothy C. Bass, featuring texts
drawn mainly from fiction, memoir, poetry, and other forms of
literature.
