ABSTRACT
The present paper explores how the Reformation concept of vocation was expounded and fortified by Samuel Friedrich Willenberg ( 胡生芳) who, from 1701 until his death in 1748, served as professor at the Danzig Academic Gymnasium ( 但澤學院). This concept impressed upon people from all walks of life that the world of which they were a part, the vicissitudes of life and all institutions and relationships supporting the life of human beings as individuals and as a community were intended and designed by God for the benefit of humankind.
