This book examines key issues in Christianity from various
philosophical points of view. It brings together European authors
with American theologians and philosophers on an interconfessional
basis. Coverage combines analytical and continental approaches in a
unique way. This comprehensive, innovative analysis will help
readers gain a deep understanding into a wide range of
philosophical approaches to basic Christian problems. The novelty
of this volume is the unique combination of philosophical and
theological approaches. It merges these points-of-view in a
rational manner which characterizes segments of Anglo-American and
Continental thought. The scope of the work covers historical
issues, contemporary problems of atheism, and also novel approaches
to fundamental notions. Readers will learn about questions
surrounding the French New Theology, Zizek's philosophical sources,
the notion of revelation, and much more. As a work produced by
European and United States scholars, this volume is an important
contribution not only to the dialogue between various academic
cultures, but also to the expression of their fruitful cooperation
which grounds and inspires serious academic research. The
readership of this work begins at an undergraduate level and
reaches up to academic researchers and professors interested in
borderline problems between philosophy and theology, history and
contemporary issues.
Grief is a universal human response to death and loss. Mourning is
an equally universally observable practice that enables the
bereaved to express their grief and come to terms with the reality
of loss. Yet, despite their prevalence, there is no unified
understanding of the nature and meaning of grief and mourning. The
Meaning of Mourning: Perspectives on Death, Loss, and Grief brings
together fifteen essays from diverse disciplines addressing the
topics of death, grief, and mourning. The collection moves from
general questions concerning the putative badness of death and the
meaning of loss through the phenomenology and psychology of grief,
to personal and cultural aspects of mourning. Contributors examine
topics such as theodicy and grief, reproductive loss, mourning as a
form of recognition of value, the roots of grief in early
childhood, grief in COVID-times, hope, phenomenology of loss,
public commemoration and mourning rituals, mourning for a
devastated culture, the Necropolis of Glasgow, and the "art of
outliving." Edited by Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, the volume provides
a survey of the rich topography of methodologies, problems,
approaches, and disciplines that are involved in the study of
issues surrounding loss and our responses to it and guides the
reader through a spectrum of perspectives, highlighting the
connections and discontinuities between them.
This volume offers a practical and innovative interpretation of
divine revelation, from a philosophical-theological perspective.
Balazs M. Mezei outlines the most important presuppositions of our
notion of divine revelation in a historic and semantic setting, as
well as elaborating upon the methodology of model analysis. He then
introduces and analyses the notion of self-revelation as the most
important modern understanding of divine revelation; and presents
the notion of "apocalyptic personhood" as a corollary of radical
personhood, which is further developed into apocalyptic
phenomenology. Mezei further examines the remarkable development of
some of the most important notions in the history of Christianity,
along with the homogenous infrastructure of these notions in the
very essence of the religion: the doctrine of Trinity. Covering
aspects of revelation from semantics to historical and cognitive
origins, and engaging with a wide variety of texts - including
Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Joseph Ratzinger - Mezei makes a
strong and clear statement when explaining what the radical
revelation is, how it can be understood and its overall importance.
This textbook will give students a clear understanding of the
connection between faith and reason. "Illuminating Faith" gives
students a clear and accessible introduction to some of the major
ways faith and the relationship between faith and reason have been
understood within Western Christianity. In twenty-six short and
easy to digest units it covers different accounts of faith
beginning with Scripture, moving through the history of Christian
thought, and ending with contemporary views.Along the way it
explores some of the decisive theological and philosophy accounts
of faith, such as faith seeking understanding, faith and
supernatural virtue, faith and skepticism, and faith and science.
Yet it also includes significant issues and movements not typically
covered in introductory texts, such as documents from church
councils, faith as knowledge, assent, and trust in the Protestant
scholastics, faith and the heart in pietism, secularized accounts
of faith, faith after Auschwitz, and faith and liberation. The goal
of each unit is to introduce students to topical issues surrounding
the nature of faith, to provide historical background for each
topic, and to generate further discussion and reflection on the
nature of faith. The result is a well balanced and unique
introduction to various understandings of faith. Designed
specifically with classroom use in mind, "Illuminating Faith"
includes a glossary of words, an update-to-date bibliography, and
each chapter ends with questions for discussion as well as
suggestions for relevant reading material.

"Religion After Auschwitz" is a philosophical approach to the
notion of revelation. Following such authors as A. Dulles, R.
Swinburne, or K. Ward, Balazs Mezei investigates some of the main
problems of revelation and connects them to the general problem of
religion today. Religion is considered in the perspective of the
age "after Auschwitz," an expression coined by Hans Jonas and
further elaborated by J. B. Metz. Mezei develops the insights of
these philosophers and investigates various aspects of religion and
revelation "after Auschwitz" contemporary theistic philosophy,
phenomenology, art, mysticism, and the question of university
education today. A fascinating amalgam of subjects and approaches,
"Religion and Revelation After Auschwitz" is an important
contribution to contemporary discussions on the possibility of
Catholic philosophy.
