"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"
