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.

It is an essential contribution to theological, philosophical, and practical academics, and indeed to contemporary religious engagements. It will be useful for both graduate and post-graduate students, and every seminary library will do well to acquire a copy. * Reading Religion *\u003cbr\u003eThese incisive re-readings of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love in the light of the challenges of the postmodern world, and the need to engage them with contemporary considerations of justice, make this book a compelling addition to an important nexus in theology today. These essays will continue to be consulted for a long time to come. -- Robert Schreiter, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago\u003cbr\u003eNot since the Trinitarian poetics of Charles Péguy and the pastoral insights of Rafael Tello (an overlooked Argentine model for Pope Francis) have Christian thinkers dared to re-think the classical theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity in the light of modern secularizing exigencies as well as the present demands of justice. Anselm Min has assembled an ecumenically rich array of insightful commentators on this critical issue. Readers will be provoked by these timely essays to claim with new vigor and understanding a tradition we cannot afford to ignore. -- Peter Casarella, University of Notre Dame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Challenges and Opportunities for Faith, Hope, and Love Today Anselm K.
