The word 'Church' (ekklesia) and the role of naming in baptism indicate the fundamental place of calling in Christian life. However, ideas of vocation are difficult to access in a world shaped by the experience of disenchantment. The difficulties of articulating vocation are explored with reference to Weber, Heidegger, and Kierkegaard. These are further connected to a general crisis of language, manifesting in the degradation of political discourse (Arendt) and the impact of new communications technology on human discourse. This impact can be seen as reinforcing an occlusion of language in favour of rationality already evidenced in the philosophical tradition and technocratic management. 000921422 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on January 13, 2020). 000921422 650_0 $$aChristian life. 000921422 650_0 $$aLanguage and languages$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity. 000921422 650_0 $$aRhetoric$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity. 000921422 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780198813514 000921422 830_0 $$aPhilosophy of Christian life ;$$v2. 000921422 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000921422 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000921422 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198813514.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000921422 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:921422$$pGLOBAL_SET 000921422 980__ $$aEBOOK 000921422 980__ $$aBIB 000921422 982__ $$aEbook 000921422 983__ $$aOnline
