These essays consider the three traditional theological
virtues-faith, hope, and love-alongside their opposites-doubt,
despair, and hate, from a scholarly perspective. The volume
includes contributions not just from philosophers of religion, but
also from psychologists, sociologists, and film and literature
scholars, to paint a complex and nuanced picture of these virtues,
both of how we might understand them, and how we can hope to embody
them ourselves. While these virtues make up a core part of the
Christian tradition, the chapters here go far and wide in search of
different cultural conceptions of these universal human concerns.
Inquiries are made into these virtues within Hindu, Buddhist,
Jewish, and Islamic thought, alongside philosophers including
Aristotle, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Levinas, and Murdoch. The
resulting tapestry is often beautiful, sometimes horrific, but
always thoroughly human. This text appeals to students and
researchers working in these fields. Chapter [9] is available open
