≪What an extraordinarily strong and beautiful collection of essays! Ranging from studies of the Bible and liturgy through various facets of theology and philosophy to political and interreligious dialogue, not one piece fails to deliver some new insight to the reader. It speaks well to the significance of Dermot Lane’s life and work that such an excellent medley has been assembled. In paying this singular tribute, the volume also contributes to a wide range of religious issues in clearly written prose that is by turns intelligent, critical, poetic, pastoral, and beautiful.≫ (Elizabeth Johnson, CSJ Emerita Distinguished Professor of Theology at Fordham University, New York City) This book is a collection of essays, each focused on the state of a particular question in contemporary theology, written in honour of the distinguished Irish theologian, Dermot A. Lane. Lane, in his extensive corpus, seeks to bring constructive perspectives to bear on a range of issues in theology. The contributors to this volume include former colleagues and students of Dermot Lane, and theologians from other faculties of theology in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, who have collaborated with him. In tribute to Lane’s legacy, this Festschrift seeks to offer constructive intradisciplinary perspectives on select questions in contemporary theology, relating to sacred texts, liturgy, philosophy, the God question, anthropology, race, ecology, politics, ecumenical dialogue, interreligious dialogue, ecclesiology, and hope.
