Dr. Scott Hahn, one of the most recognized intellectuals and influential Catholic writers, warmly invites Catholics worldwide to reaffirm their focus on the sacred duty of the Catholic priest in Many Are Called. Dr. Hahn investigates the biblical and historical roots of the priesthood to explain the priest's role in the life of the Church, using his unique ability to express deep spiritual and theological themes in everyday language. He refocuses attention on the priest's many roles—provider, mediator, protector, teacher, judge, and more—all of which are united in the priest's place as spiritual father to God's people, and ultimately he demonstrates that it is through the priest, empowered by God, that the continuing presence of Jesus Christ makes itself known to our world.
Many Are Called is a lively, intelligent, and fascinating book that will inspire students and seminarians seeking a vocation, clergy renewing their call, Catholic readers looking to deepen their faith, and seekers inquiring about one of Catholicism's distinguishing yet least known features. This is a genuinely extraordinary book, with a prologue by the Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York, that speaks to the restless heart of humanity and reveals that our prayers for a spiritual father have already been answered.
