In The Call to Happiness, Nathaniel A. Warne examines Christian eudaimonism within the writings of sixteenth and seventeenth century English Puritans, arguing that the idea of divine callings (vocations) as a command from God can sit comfortably alongside eudaimonism without rendering the Puritans as "divine command theorists."

Religious communities often select and foster certain emotions over others. Often, it is the underlying emotional pattern of a group rather than its doctrines that either divides it from, or attracts it to, others. These issues, so important in today's world, are explored in this book in a genuinely interdisciplinary way by anthropologists.
