Vocation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916402195)

This book studies the life of Jesus, exploring purpose in his work. It follows how the call to share that work was made to friends of Jesus and illuminates the impulse which bought them into that work. It follows the story into Paul's understanding of Christian service and freedom and finishes with an illustration from Roman times of how vocation is a call to a person to use their gifts in a way that enables them to see when and when they are called to a new departure. First published in 1913 by a leading Christian scholar, author of the best selling The Jesus of History, this beautiful book has been lost for many years and now returns in this modernized edition to celebrate the opening of The Library at Llantwit in the historic town of Llantwit Major, Wales. The Library at Llantwit is the base for the Landscapes of Faith project in Wales and this carefully crafted book by Glover contains a reconstruction of life for early Christians living in a small Roman town. As part of the Landscapes of Faith festival there will be new celebrations of the early British Christian martyrs Julius and Aaron in Caerleon, South Wales. Vocation celebrates Christian traditions that offer free, energetic, creative, intellectually enquiring and robust adventures that engage with our whole personal and communal life.
