And the term Beruf has multiple meanings.
-
In English I think it is quite
-
well translated as calling; though not quite,
-
because in German Beruf has the very pedestrian,
-
simple meaning of occupation.
-
So if you are filling out a questionnaire,
-
a German language questionnaire,
-
for the line 'occupation'
-
stands 'Beruf'.
-
But Beruf is also a call.
-
Ruf is to call, in German.
-
So Beruf is that you--God calls you.
