The Three Dynamisms of Faith
Fr. Roy shows how The Three Dynamisms of Faith are lived in today's culture and how they are systematically related; sometimes in alliance and sometimes in apparent opposition. Having led the reader to a plausible answer to the human condition in Catholicism, in his final chapter he discusses some classic issues that result: possible tensions between meaning and truth, between feelings and insight, and about the role of religious experience in becoming attuned to Christian revelation.
Living, Dying, Death, and Bereavement (Volume One)
This two-volume book offers extensive interviews with persons who have made significant contributions to thanatology, the study of dying, death, loss, and grief.

John Henry Newman and the English Sensibility
Asides about John Henry Newman being either particularly English or particularly un-English are common. John Henry Newman and the English Sensibility scrutinises Newman's theological writings to establish how his theology can be considered distinctively English or un-English at the different stages of its development. In his Tractarian period, Newman's theology is shown to be profoundly characterised by common 19th-century tropes of a perceived English sensibility, namely an instinct for compromise, an affection for reserve and a markedly empirical orientation to life.

Handbook of Childhood Death and Bereavement
"In this comprehensive handbook, Charles Corr and Donna Corr improve our understanding of the challenges faced by children when coping with death, dying, and bereavement. Organized into three parts, this volume addresses specific issues involved in confrontations with death, discusses the role of bereavement, and explains specific therapeutic interventions for caregivers. This text introduces us to four distinct periods within childhoodinfancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, and middle childhood. Through case examples, the Corrs illustrate a child's experience with death and bereavement in all four areas. The book's practical orientation and emphasis will appeal to a broad array of caregivers including counselors, therapists, nurses, and mental health practitioners concerned with child and adolescent death and bereavement."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Anthropology of Self-person and Myth in Africa
The Anthropology of Self - Person, Myth in Africa is a display of what man is and not what man has; it is a correction of misconception of man (in Africa). «Is» assumes a paradoxical approach to human reality (totality of being); man exists as a question to himself, hence he cannot be defined empirically only. The author portrays living as taking position against oneself-closedness; it is a call for dialogue and democracy to embrace clear, non-clear, meaningful and non-meaningful items. These aspects are basic dimensions of myth as opposed to monology and dictatorship. Myth in Africa is a disclosure to human actuality highlighting daily life activities against various ideologies in the present Africa (World). This book might inspire everyone concerned in the study of man, politics and general African Studies.
