Summary
Colleges & universities have begun using the language of vocation & calling to help undergraduates think about the future direction of their lives. This language has been employed in both secular & religious contexts, but it has deep roots in a specific theological tradition. Given the increasingly multi-faith context of undergraduate life, many have asked whether this originally Christian terminology can truly become a new vocabulary for higher education. This volume's 13 contributing scholars identify with a wide variety of faith traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, & Sikhism. Some claim more than one tradition; others would claim none. Rather than seeking to 'translate' Christian language into other perspectives, they reflect on various facets of vocation from the standpoint of their own traditions.
