Death by Despair
Suicide is one of the major causes of violent death in our societies. The fact that adolescents and the elderly are the two population groups with the highest rates of suicide challenges many assumptions of the past regarding human development. By the time they reach their teens, many adolescents lack the necessary skills to deal with stressful events in a healthy life-enhancing way. At the same time, the last stage of human development is not necessarily one in which people feel fulfilled. In this book, Ramón Martínez de Pisón expands the theory of Lazarus and Folkman (1984) for coping with stress in order to show that toxic shame is one of the most important personal and environmental constraints inhibiting one's ability to cope with suicide and suicide-related events in a healthy way.
The Religion of Life
None
Experience and Spirit
Hegel's philosophy of religion is a philosophical theology in which God is conceived as a movement of inclusive divine subjectivity - ultimately God inclusive of the world. For Hegel, this inclusive divine subjectivity took the form of a movement of conceptual thought. In an effort to work with Hegel while going beyond him, Experience and Spirit presents God as a movement of inclusive divine subjectivity; however, that movement is understood to be not one of thought but of enriching experience and, thus, of spirit. This argument in favor of a renewed understanding of Hegel's true infinite proceeds in three major steps: first, a consideration of Hegel's own problematic proposal; second, the elaboration of a fuller and more contemporary notion of experience; and, third, three constructive phenomenological and philosophical reflections on basic questions in philosophical theology, namely, the experience of God, speaking about God, and the notions of evil, freedom, and mystery. In the end, Experience and Spirit proposes a philosophy of generosity, both human and divine.
From Violence to Peace
From Violence to Peace introduces us to three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - and the distorted image of a God who is praised when committing violence. Instead peace should be the soul and lungs of all religions. Religion is not the source of violence; violence is constellated through human manipulation. There is an urgent need for self-awareness, the sine qua non for all transformation so that western countries can move away from this distorted image or dominant religion or "new opium." Several concrete observations are proposed with the book ending with a call to a wider vision of transcendence, an openness to a larger frame of reference, that is, of meaning and an enlarged vision of the role of religion's passion to bring spirit and forgiveness to public life and provide a vision of moral order.

La théologie, pour quoi? pour qui? : l'élaboration et l'enseignement d'une théologie pour aujourd'hui : actes du 34e Congrès de la Société canadienne de théologie tenu à Québec du 24 au 26 octobre 1997
"Issue d’une expérience et d’une tradition de témoins, issue d’une promesse à l’égard de laquelle elle est responsable, la théologie doit pouvoir répondre de son discours aussi bien quant à la réalité de Dieu que par rapport à la rationalité de son temps. Au milieu du concert pluraliste contemporain, quel rôle la théologie peut-elle jouer? Pourquoi faire de la théologie dans un tel contexte, et pour qui? À quelle contribution est-elle appelée? À quelles conditions une réflexion théologique peut-elle être pertinente dans des sociétés régies de plus en plus par les lois du néolibéralisme qui nous soumettent toujours davantage aux critères de la rentabilité et...
