Abstract

The Christian ethic is now one among a plurality of vocational patterns. It can no longer be made legally binding, nor can it easily be employed as an instrument of social pressure. More and more, the Christian life is viewed as a way which one deliberately chooses. Fewer accept it on the recommendation of their parents or as a matter of social convention.
