Mohr Siebeck Hope: Claremont Studies in Philosophy of Religion

Explore the complex nature of hope through the lens of philosophy and theology. This volume from the Claremont Studies in Philosophy of Religion series examines hope as a controversial human phenomenon. While some view it as a burden, others see it as a divine gift and a high human virtue. This collection investigates how hope functions across different belief systems. It looks specifically at Christianity, where hope is a central practice rather than just a set of dogmas. The text also compares this perspective with other religions where the concept of hope might be absent, questioned, or even rejected. This book provides a deep look into how an intangible concept remains a constant presence in daily life and religious practice.
