THEO 5533 - A Theology of Vocation

3 credits

Participants examine biblical teaching and theological reflection on the concept of vocation. Developments in the understanding of the nature and purpose of work and perspectives on the role of human participation in the divine activity of creation and redemption are reviewed and assessed. Students construct a suitable theological framework from which to evaluate their own calling and explore ways in which faith communities can better assist members to discover and cultivate working lives that are worthwhile and meaningful.
