In Many Are Called, Scott Hahn shows that God’s call to serve him as a priest can be a challenge but, at the same time, a wonderful blessing.
He examines the biblical and historical roots of the priesthood to explain the centrality of the priest in the life of the Church. He reveals the many roles of the priest – provider, mediator, protector, teacher, judge, and more – and shows how they are united in the priest’s place as spiritual father to God’s people. It is through the priest, empowered by God, that the continuing presence of Jesus Christ makes itself known to our world.
