This course explores the biblical and theological concepts
of calling. We also examine historical developments in the understanding
of vocation and different approaches to vocational guidance as it relates
to work and ministry in the community of faith and the world. Students
will examine their own sense of calling and seek to clarify the nature
of that call.
