Paul's use of λογικὴ λατρεία in Rom 12.1 has long fascinated and puzzled interpreters. This study proposes a new explanation of Paul's reason language in Rom 12.1 based on a detailed investigation of ancient philosophical texts on the role of human beings in the cosmos, in which reason language and the idea of a vocation of human beings are closely connected. It argues that Paul here appeals to the idea of a human vocation in order to claim that Christ-followers are able to fulfil their human vocation by living in such a way that their lives produce signs of the new creation inaugurated in Christ. This case is made by establishing the central role of reason in ancient discourse on what it means to be human more broadly, and in particular in Epictetus, who provides the clearest parallel for Romans. These contextualisations allow for a fresh reading of Paul's argument in Romans, where the relevance of these traditions is shown, not least for how Rom 12.1-2 frames Rom 12-15.The study thus contributes to the recent scholarly trend of exploring Paul in ancient philosophical contexts and advances the discussion on the integration of Paul's "theology" and "ethics" within an ancient cultural encyclopedia. --

Comment fonctionne le monde syndical en Suisse ? Qui s'engage dans la carrière syndicale et comment ces personnes vivent-elles leur activité professionnelle, entre vocation militante et exercice d'une profession salariée ? Se situant au croisement de la sociologie du militantisme, des parcours de vie et des professions, ce livre apporte une contribution majeure à la compréhension des ressorts propres aux engagements professionnalisés dans la carrière syndicale, tout en tenant les exigences d'une perspective de genre. Après avoir dressé le portrait sociologique des syndicalistes de l'USS et de Travail.Suisse, et exploré leurs raisons de s'engager, l'ouvrage étudie les tensions qui caractérisent le travail syndical, via une analyse de la tension entre engagement bénévole et travail salarié, de la division sexuée du travail et des facteurs permettant de rendre compte du maintien des femmes dans des positions plutôt dominées, malgré des politiques volontaristes de promotion des carrières féminines. En associant systématiquement données biographiques recueillies auprès d'une centaine de syndicalistes et analyses statistiques de leurs trajectoires, le livre permet de dresser la carte des parcours professionnels, mais aussi militants et familiaux des hommes et des femmes qui sont la chair palpitante des syndicats en Suisse.

The chapters in this book contend that attention to vocational concerns promotes the civic good promised by defenders of liberal arts education. In doing so, their authors suggest that the good of higher education is larger than the immediate, practical benefit an individual student gains while earning a degree, that addressing enduring questions is essential if students are to meet the challenges and crises facing them.
