In an axial volume from his celebrated compendium, the "Ihya ulum al din," al-Ghazali shares his startling and original exploration of the meaning of trust in Divine Providence and recommends specific spiritual skills to help the seeker develop a state whereby he or she may rightly respond to events as they happen. This judicious use of stories is intended to imitate the Sufi practice of the master/disciple relationship, where the novice is helped to discern correct action.

"How, from a theological standpoint, should we make sense of gratitude? This rich interdisciplinary volume is the first concertedly to explore theologies of gratitude from both Christian and Muslim perspectives. While the available literature has tended to rhapsodize gratitude to God and others as both a virtue and an obligation, this book by contrast offers something new by detailing ways in which gratitude is complicated by inequality: even to the point of becoming a vice. Gratitude now emerges as something more than a virtue and other than merely transactional. It can be a burden, bringing about indebtedness and an imbalance of power; but it may also be a resonant source of reconciliation and belonging. Topics discussed cover the personal and political dimensions of gratitude, including such issues as justice, multiculturalism, racism, imperialism, grief, memory and hope. The book assembles, from different traditions, some of the leading theologians of our times"--

When asked if I am a Democrat, Republican, or an Independent, my response is that I am a Roman Catholic. I have maintained that the message of the Catholic faith does not always reflect the activities of the messengers. In America, the scripture saying "Seek first the kingdom of God" is playing second best to a secular society dependence upon the power of man to solve problems. Without the one true God, as presented by the Church, established by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ some two thousand years ago things are headed from bad to worse. The people of secular persuasion know nothing of Satan and his followers. Evil has been diagnosed as good. A secular government with the use of reason, science and manufactured evidence has done what nonbelievers in the past have done made, "Man the measure of all things." The Catholic Church teaches that humanity has a fallen nature and is capable of using reason in way that produces evil results. With the US government as the chief source for determining right from wrong, confusion reigns and violence isn't far behind. The world is in dire need of help from the God of creation. Governments from all over the world seek an advantage based on corruption and fraud. America has made treaties and agreements with countries out to destroy our way of life. I believe American was founded as a Christian nation where unity and not diversity ought to be our common bond. God is impartial so people of diverse beliefs who seek common perspectives which stress the dignity of all life from conception until natural death. A woman does not have right that demean life producing inequality between women, men, and children including children in the womb of its mother. In the United States Constitution, life, liberty, and other benefits are being taken to extremes. The meaning of life is to be protected not brought to finality by devious means. Livery is more than license to do what one pleases. Liberty as understood by our forefathers is more than the pursuit of pleasure, but ought to see truth and goodness which is reflected in the mandates of the Christian faith. Divine Providence will investigate God's will where basic tenants of faith blend with nine components that are instrumental in the understanding needed to begin the faith based journey. The Catholic faith's paramount concern is the salvation of all of humanity. Let us read this text with optimism for a proper outcome.

Focusing on Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) – one of the foremost scholars and authorities in the Muslim world who is central to the Islamic intellectual tradition – this book embarks on a study of doubt (shakk) and certainty (yaqīn) in his epistemology. The book looks at Ghazālī’s attitude to philosophical demonstration and Sufism as a means to certainty. In early scholarship surrounding Ghazālī, he has often been blamed as the one who single-handedly offered the death-blow to philosophy in the Muslim world. In much of contemporary scholarship, Ghazālī is understood to prefer philosophy as the ultimate means to certainty, granting Sufism a secondary status. Hence, much of previous scholarship has either focused on Ghazālī as a Sufi or as a philosopher; this book takes a parallel approach, and acknowledges each discipline in its right place. It analyses Ghazālī’s approach to acquiring certainty, his methodological scepticism, his foundationalism, his attitude to authoritative instruction (taʿlim), and the place of philosophical demonstration and Sufism in his epistemology. Offering a systematic and comprehensive approach to Ghazālī’s epistemology, this book is a valuable resource for scholars of Islamic philosophy and Sufism in particular, and for educated readers of Islamic studies in general.

Fergus Kerr, OP is one of the foremost Catholic theologians of his generation. His works are widely read by specialists and students in the UK, North America and across the world. His 'Theology after Wittgenstein' is regarded as a seminal work in philosophical theology. His 'After Aquinas: Versions of Thomism' and 'Twentieth Century Catholic Theologians' are two of the finest student-focussed introductions to their topics currently available. The essays in this collection cover the two key areas of Kerr's contribution: the relationship between theology and philosophy, focusing particularly on Thomism; and twentieth century Catholic thought. These themes provide the volume's coherence. A key strength of this volume lies in the stature of its contributors. These include the Canadian Catholic philosopher and Templeton-laureate Charles Taylor, Stanley Hauerwas, John Milbank, David Burrell and Denys Turner. A number of younger contributors, representing the influence of Kerr over several generations, are also represented.

lbis volume was occasioned by the desire of its contributors to honor Robert Sokolowski on his sixtieth birthday. The desire first took fonn on the streets of an American metropolis when several of us, while attending a philosophy conference, were bemoaning the lack of passion for doing philosophy as we all conceived it. In this expression of our discontent we all had a common exemplar in mind, someone for whom the passion for "the truthful" and "the good" is embodied in every sentence of his rich writings. Felicitously this very thinker was someone whom we an regard as manifesting in his person and life these same properties which his writings exhibit and pursue as luminous ideals. As a result, John Brough, John Drummond, and I came up with the idea that we hold our own conference and do philosophy as we envisage it and at the same time honor its foremost exemplary practitioner whose sixtieth birthday was the following year. Immediately the idea took wings among the handful ofus and the dreariness of that philosophy congress receded. The first task of thinking of possible speakers was easy. The issue of the venue for our symposium, what I like to call the "Sokofest," had to be decided, as well as the details of its realization.
