Integrating the insights of spirituality, scripture, liberation theology and cultural anthropology, Vocation for Mission presents a stimulating and prophetic challenge for the renewal of religious life. With a view of religious life as a radical call to live the gospel, Azevedo develops a theology of poverty, chastity and obedience rooted in the evangelical mission of the Church. Acclaimed in Brazil, France, Spain, and Italy, this book appears in English at a “crucial and graced moment for religious life”.
