This beautifully crafted daily prayer companion is for everyone who wants to integrate spirituality with daily life. Rooted in one of the most pressing concerns of our age, it offers a fourfold pattern for prayer throughout the day to renew attention, understanding, compassion and delight towards creation.

This is a beautifully crafted collection of prayers for each Sunday and most major festivals in the churchs year, together with additional material for each season. The Sunday prayers known as collects in the Anglican tradition follow the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary. The author uses expansive and inclusive language and imagery to address and describe God, to describe Gods presence and action in the world, and to describe the people of God. Ideal for use at weekday celebrations, including the Book of Common Prayer Order for Eucharist.

Kierkegaard and the Refusal of Transcendence challenges the standard view that Kierkegaard's God is infinitely other than the world. It argues that his work immerses us in the paradoxical nature of existence itself, and opposes any flight into another world.

Kierkegaard: The Self in Society brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to explore Kierkegaard's continuing relevance to political and social issues. These essays not only refute this caricature, they bring out the complex nature of Kierkegaard's engagements with questions of selfhood and society.
