This is a book about young people-youth and emerging adults. The contributors in this volume investigate the religious and spiritual lives of young people, especially as they relate to inclinations to do good for others. People are increasingly interested in, concerned about, and excited for the generational changes occurring to faith and giving, as young people become adults. Emerging adulthood and the millennial generation receive considerable scholarly and public press attention. Prior generations wonder: What will happen to the future of faith and giving, and how can we help the new generation emerge into adult leaders? Younger generations wonder: How can we reshape the future of faith and giving, and how can existing religious and civic organizations respond to younger generations? This edited volume is the result of a special issue that invited social scientific insights on responses to these questions. The background for this volume, summarized below, is the evolving life course developmental processes, as well as the culmination of numerous social and cultural changes in recent decades and their implications for socialization of religiosity, spirituality, and generosity. The included chapters focus on the faith and giving of youth and emerging adults, in the United States and internationally. The emphasis is on research that contributes breadth to social scientific understandings of religion, charitable giving, volunteering, generosity, youth, and emerging adults. We are especially interested in trends related to participation in religious and civic organizations, including changing cultural structures, beliefs, and orientations to faith and giving in less formal or non-organizational contexts.

The contribution intends to relate the biographies of the philosophers and auctores contained in the glosses to canto IV of Dante's Inferno to some possible sources consulted by Boccaccio. The study takes into account three possible competing sources: Giovanni Gallico's Compendiloquium, which Boccaccio read in the Riccardian codex 1230 - postillated by him in one place -, the Liber de vita et moribus philosophorum by pseudo-Walter Burley and the Liber de dictis philosophorum antiquorum according to Boccaccio's Laurentian Zibaldone. This text, previously considered of minor importance than the other biographical syllogies, will be given a prominent role, especially in correspondence with eight biographies in which it seems to have provided Boccaccio with ideas for the elaboration of the work.

Jacques Ellul (1913-1994) was a French sociologist, philosopher, and lay theologian whose prophetic critique of modern civilization and technology won an appreciative audience far beyond Christian circles. Yet this was only one half of his project. For nearly every sociological book he wrote, Ellul would write a theological or spiritual counterpart. This volume highlights that side of his work, with spiritual gems on prayer, hope, and universal salvation. His call to reject the worship of the state and to embrace nonviolent activism has an abiding relevance and urgency. Book jacket.
