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.
