‘Accessible, engaging, and informative… With its concentration on the attitudes and practices of gratitude, the book deals with an important theme strangely neglected in theological writing. A particular strength is its interaction with recent psychological studies of gratitude; these are drawn into conversation with the historical traditions of both Christianity and Islam. The volume includes several distinguished scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, and its audience will include students of Christian and Islamic thought – especially those interested in recent comparative theology.'
David Fergusson - University of Cambridge
‘This pioneering comparative study in Christian and Muslim understandings of gratitude sets out to reconceptualise something often seen as a self-evident virtue into both ‘a burden and a blessing' in human and societal relationships. The topic is one underexplored in the theological traditions of either religion beyond its fundamental role in the human relationship with the divine. The book makes an important and original contribution to comparative theology in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, and also to the wider humanities – especially in their dialogue with the social sciences.'

‘[T]he book is a useful contribution to knowledge in this field, and I would unreservedly recommend it to those interested in exploring different theological perspectives on gratitude.’
