Many Are Called

Rediscovering the Glory of the Priesthood

By: Scott Hahn, David Cochran Heath

Narrated by: David Cochran Heath

In Many Are Called, Dr. Scott Hahn, one of the most celebrated scholars and influential Catholic writers living today, enthusiastically encourages Catholics around the world to renew their focus on the sacred role of the Catholic priest. Using his unique ability to present deep spiritual and theological ideas in the language of everyday life, Dr. Hahn examines the biblical and historical roots of the priesthood to explain the centrality of the priest in the life of the Church.

He brings reinvigorated attention to the many roles of the priest—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 shows that it is through the priest, empowered by God, that the continuing presence of Jesus Christ makes itself known to our world.

Lively, insightful, and engaging, Many Are Called will serve as an inspiration to students and seminarians considering a vocation, to clergy renewing their call, to Catholic listeners looking to deepen their faith, and to seekers curious about one of Catholicism's defining but least understood elements.

With a foreword by the Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, this is a truly special book, one that speaks to the restless heart of humanity and reveals that our pleas for a spiritual father have already been answered.

perfect description what a Catholic priest is

Great Discussion About Priesthood

There is some good discussion regarding priests and the origin of priesthood. I had difficulty concentrating, however, due to the monotone voice of the narrator. I think I would have gotten more out of reading the physical book. I do listen mostly on my commute to and from work, so it would be helpful for me to re-listen at home where I can take pieces and reflect before moving on.

Great discussion of priesthood

It is not just for those looking into priesthood but also for the rest of us to better understand the priesthood

A beautiful catechesis on the priesthood

Dr. Hahn has given us an enthralling, and yet concise teaching on the great gift of Holy Orders

The Priesthood Calls Many

We Catholics know our priests and those outside know of them. But how many of us know why we have priests? Why is a priest forever a priest? And why do we call him Father?

Scott Hahn lays fatherhood and priesthood out wonderfully for all of us, and will hopefully lead many young men to the greatest vocation!
