This is a Brand New book in excellent condition. Format: Paperback Author: Mr. Gary D. Badcock ISBN10: 0802844901 ISBN13: 9780802844903 Beginning with the Bible and drawing on a range of theological sources Gary Badcock develops a constructive theology of Christian vocation rescuing it from both secular and sacred distortions. Badcock demonstrates that the concept of vocation is more intimately tied to personhood than to occupation. Even though work itself is of great significance and is one vital sphere within which vocation can be expressed Badcock shows that the fullest meaning of vocation is less about what one does than about what one is. Anyone struggling to discover a vocation will find this book to be a revelation.
