EDITED BY WILLIAM PLACHER

Brief Description:
This unprecedented anthology gathers select passages on work and vocation from the greatest writers of Christian history. William Placher has written insightful introductions to accompany the selections. While the vocational questions faced by Christians have changed through the centuries, the book demonstrates how the distilled wisdom of these saints, preachers, theologians, and teachers remain relevant to Christians today. Includes writing by Augustine, Thomas a Kempis, George Fox, Gerrard Winstanley, Teresa of Avila, Dostoevsky, Dorothy Day, Simone Weil, Howard Thurman, Thomas Merton, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, among others.
