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 readers 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.

'The faithful sanctify the world through the common priesthood - but the Church's priests sanctify the faithful through the sacraments.' (p. 142). After a 'Foreword' and two introductory chapters, Scott Hahn reflects on 'The Priest' as Father, Mediator, Provider, Teacher, Warrior, Judge, Bridegroom, Celibate Father, Brother, and, finally, 'The Priesthood of the New Covenant'. He searches the Bible and history to show the importance, and necessity, of the Priesthood for and in the (Catholic) Church, and as Christ's mediator in the World. The book is suitable for a private retreat, for aspirants to the Priesthood and for lay people wishing to know, and understand, more about their Priests and their own 'priesthood'. The sub-title is unfortunate, as it implies that 'the Glory of the Priesthood' has been diluted or even lost. Maybe Hahn's target are American Priests, and, from the first page, he writes from such a perspective, possibly irritating to the British reader. There are a few reference notes, but no index, which may be deliberate rather than an oversight, as one needs to read / meditate upon the book's contents chapter by chapter. As a reminder of 'who I am', this is a useful contribution to the subject.
