Faith, hope, and love, traditionally called theological virtues,
are central to Christianity. This book renews faith, hope, and love
in the context of the many contemporary challenges in many unique
ways. It is an ecumenical collection of papers, equally divided
between Catholic and Protestant positions, that seek to radically
renew the classical doctrine of faith, hope, and love, and argues
for their essential connection to the praxis of justice. It
contains eight different approaches, each represented by a
distinguished theologian and addressing different aspects of the
issues and followed by insightful and critical responses. It does
not merely seek to renew the theological virtues but to also
reconstruct them in the demanding context of justice and the
contemporary world, nor is it simply a treatise on justice but a
theoretical and practical reflection on justice as vital
expressions of faith in God, hope in God, and love of God. A
non-dogmatic and non-ideological approach, it accommodates both
conservative and liberal positions, and avoids the separation of
the theological virtues from the demands of the contemporary world
as well as the separation of justice talk from the theological
context of faith, hope, and love. It seeks above all to renew, not
merely repeat, the classical doctrine of faith, hope, and love in
the contemporary context of the urgency of justice, and to do so
ecumenically, comprehensively, and from a variety of perspectives
and aspects.
