But what about religions other than Christianity? What does it mean for someone from another faith tradition to understand calling or vocation? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book contributors with expertise in Catholic and Protestant Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, and secular humanism explore the idea of calling from these eight faith perspectives. The contributors search their respective traditions' sacred texts, key figures, practices, and concepts for wisdom on the meaning of vocation. Greater understanding of diverse faith traditions, say Kathleen Cahalan and Douglas Schuurman, will hopefully increase and improve efforts to build a better, more humane world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e CONTRIBUTORS \u003cbr\u003e Mark Berkson \u003ci\u003e(Confucianism and Daoism)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Kathleen A.
