The point that Plato is trying to make is that everybody is capable of learning; however‚ the only way we will actually learn is if we turn our whole body and look at the sun. When Plato says that the only way to turn from darkness to light is by "turning the whole body"(Plato‚ trans C.D.C Reeve‚ Hacket‚ 1999‚ p.212)‚ he means that we must turn our soul to the light.

Jesus literally calls his disciples to come and follow him. The summary statement is that Jesus "called to him those he wanted‚ and they came to him." (3:13)

For instance‚ Islam does not have
