Luther and Vocation

 

This is not a static bibliography. We hope to add new sources (as we search and as you recommend), and we would like to add your comments or brief reviews on any of the sources that you have read (or movies you have seen). Eventually we hope to expand the Particular Callings section into various areas of life and study. So we welcome input from various departments across campus. We also hope to develop a section we will call Novel Callings where we list good literature related to the idea of calling.
