Just as the Book of Psalms provides the words we need for lament (expressing our grief and hurt to God), the Psalter also provides the guidance and language we need for negotiating the time after lament (learning to trust and give thanks).Nearly half of the psalms in the Book of Psalms are "laments," expressions of grief, trouble, and suffering combined with calls for God's help. Glenn Pemberton's earlier book, Hurting with God, describes how the lament psalms helped him express his heart honestly before God. In After Lament, he masterfully explores the next stage of thejourney, pointing out that lament does not always lead to thanksgiving. What happens when God does not answer our lament? In this rich book, Pemberton draws our attention to psalms of trust. How do we learn to trust God "after lament"?Even if God's answer to our lament was "yes," we cannot return to our life before the storm. Scars remain. And should God's answer to our lament be something other than we wanted, we have an even greater faith challenge. How do we live with a God who said "no" in our moment of greatest need? Focusing on the psalms of trust, this book shows the Bible's answer to this question.

This volume assembles contributions from different academic perspectives (religious and Islamic studies, literary and theatre studies, theology, sociology and history) on modern manifestations of martyrdom in the diverse Middle Eastern religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism and the Baha'i-faith. The latter is considered in more detail since it is often not included in comparative studies on the monotheistic religions. An excursus into the farer East composes the contribution on Mahatma Gandhi. The volume considers central sociological, philosophical and theological problems which lie at the heart of the phenomenon of martyrdom, the significance of martyrdom in different conflicts, the competing martyr figures which develop in the course of these conflicts as well as the accompanying representations in art and ritual.

La méditation fait, depuis quelques années, une entrée remarquée en Occident. Son succès grandissant interroge. Faut-il n'y voir qu'une réponse au stress généré par nos sociétés contemporaines ? En revenant aux sources de cette pratique, en particulier aux textes du Bouddha, des moines du nord de la Thaïlande, des maîtres chinois ou japonais ou encore aux écrits des grandes universités monastiques du Tibet, Fabrice Midal nous invite à comprendre la richesse de la pratique méditative. Il explore aussi ses liens avec les différentes spiritualités. Il interroge surtout l'intérêt que lui portent la psychologie, la philosophie, les arts ou encore les neurosciences. Il montre enfin en quoi, parce qu'elle incarne une autre entente de l'être humain, la méditation est une réponse à la crise des temps modernes.
