The true meaning of humility persistently drives debate, largely
because we cannot agree on the word's definition. The "correctness"
of normative terms matters, and humility carries a distinctive
normative weight. How we understand humility is not a matter of
mere semantics. It is a pursuit of inquiry with the potential to
informaperhaps even to transformaour lives. The Joy of Humility
takes up this task with a view toward the perennial question of
what entails a truly flourishing life. Here, philosophers,
theologians, ethicists, and psychologists work to frame the debate
in such a way that the conversation can move forward. To model this
goal, each chapter prompts a response to which the chapter's author
offers a reply. Part one considers the scope and implications of
humility as a contested concept; part two works toward clarity on
how to measure humility as a trait and its potential impact on
individuals and society. With contributions from Miroslav Volf,
Norman Wirzba, Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas, Jason Baehr, Lisa Sowle
Cahill, Don E. Davis, Kent Dunnington, Jane Foulcher, Sarah
Gazaway, Jennifer A. Herdt, Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso, Robert C.
Roberts, and Everett L. Worthington Jr., The Joy of Humility offers
an engaging discourse for everyone, laypeople and scholars alike,
to consider these profoundly human questions. By opening up the
space for dialogue to push past ideological and cultural
assumptions, this volume challenges us to consider how humility, in
calling us to esteem others as integral to our own well-being,
opens us up to a life of joy.
