I agree. It is not always clear to me what he says. I think it is due to a mixture of his wish to support a radical discipleship view of Christianity with some of the classical Lutheran doctrines, where civilians life and normal duties are seen as not only compatible with the Christian life but an important part of it. The question then becomes, is this doctrine then moderating the call to discipleship we find in the sayings of Jesus? And when it comes to what Christ calls you to, I'm not quite sure how he intends for us to discern what that is. When he says that, I immediately think of Feuerbach's criticism of religion, namely that it becomes a projection of ourselves.
What do you think?
