Tax Law, Religion, and Justice: An Exploration of Theological Reflections on Taxation (Law and Religion)
by Allen CalhounThis book asks why tax policy is both attracted to and repelled by the idea of justice. Accepting the invitation of economist Henry Simons to acknowledge that tax justice is a theological concept, the work explores theological doctrines of taxation to answer the presenting question. The overall message of the book is that taxation is an instrument of justice, but only when taxes take into account multiple goods in society: the requirements of the government, the property rights of society’s members, and the material needs of the poor. It is argued that this answer to the presenting question is a theological and ethical answer in that it derives from the insistence of Christian thinkers that tax policy take into account material human need (necessitas). Without the necessitas component of the tax balance, tax systems end up honoring only one of the three components of the tax equation and cease to reflect a coherent idea of justice. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of tax law, economics, theology, and history.

Tazkiya Therapy in Islāmic Psychotherapy (Islamic Psychology and Psychotherapy)
by Bagus RiyonoThis book explores tazkiya therapy, a holistic psychological approach based on Qur’anic guidance and rooted in the understanding of human beings as multidimensional –that is, physical, psychological, social and spiritual beings.The book starts with a detailed explanation or the object, the process and the purpose of tazkiya therapy, along with an account of the boundaries and the enabling factors of the approach. Rather than a singular theoretical framework, tazkiya therapy is a dynamic and flexible approach that integrates multiple frameworks and disciplines to grow the human soul, cognition, emotion and behaviour. Although it is a multidimensional approach, the process of therapy is step-by-step, and the middle part of the book presents the key stages in the approach. Within these steps, the therapist is given seven different approaches that they can customise to the needs of the client depending on whether they need assistance with thinking patterns, emotional disturbance, a behavioural problem or a dysfunctional nervous system. The book ends with a comprehensive summary of the model, a series of case studies, a future outlook on training and an application for continuing the study and practice of tazkiya therapy.This book, based on the foundation that tazkiya therapy covers issues that are spiritual in nature and always connects to Allah in facilitating the healing process, will fulfil the needs of practicing Muslim psychologists, psychiatrists and students of psychology and Islāic studies.

Te deseo la sonrisa: Para recuperar la alegría
by Papa FranciscoEn estas páginas, el Papa Francisco aborda uno de los temas más importantes de su mensaje: la alegría.Porque la verdadera dicha proviene de una esperanza que nada ni nadie puede arrebatarnos. «Sonreír es acariciar con el corazón». La alegría es un tema central de las enseñanzas del Papa Francisco, aún más necesario en estos tiempos que corren. En unas páginas que son un mensaje para todos los hombres y mujeres del mundo, el pontífice afirma que Dios es dicha y la misericordia es la manifestación más profunda de la felicidad de Dios y el núcleo del mensaje cristiano. Las palabras del Papa Francisco son una invitación a abrazar la verdadera belleza; a abrirse, encontrarse y compartir; a cambiar actitudes personales y sociales que fomentan la exclusión; a desenmascarar el descontento que se produce cuando nos encerramos en nosotros mismos; y a afrontar la vida con valentía y confianza, sin dejarse vencer por la tristeza y el pesimismo. Los ocho capítulos de este libro abarcan el tema de la felicidad de manera humana y profunda, conscientes de que la verdadera alegría no es un sentimiento efímero ni ilusorio ni un antídoto para quienes ignoran el sufrimiento: proviene de una esperanza concreta, que nada ni nadie nos podrá arrebatar. Es una alegría que tiene la última palabra, siempre. Y el deseo de compartir una sonrisa es el primer pequeño gran paso para vivirla, para renovarnos, para renacer.

Tea with Hezbollah: Sitting at the Enemies’ Table, Our Journey Through the Middle East
by Ted Dekker Carl MedearisIs it really possible to love one's enemies? That's the question that sparked a fascinating and, at times, terrifying journey into the heart of the Middle East during the summer of 2008. It was a trip that began in Egypt, passed beneath the steel and glass high rises of Saudi Arabia, then wound through the bullet- pocked alleyways of Beirut and dusty streets of Damascus, before ending at the cradle of the world's three major religions: Jerusalem. Tea with Hezbollah combines nail-biting narrative with the texture of rich historical background, as readers join novelist Ted Dekker and his co-author and Middle East expert, Carl Medearis, on a hair-raising journey. They are with them in every rocky cab ride, late-night border crossing, and back-room conversation as they sit down one-on-one with some of the most notorious leaders of the Arab world. These candid discussions with leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas, with muftis, sheikhs, and ayatollahs, with Osama bin Laden's brothers, reveal these men to be real people with emotions, fears, and hopes of their own. Along the way, Dekker and Medearis discover surprising answers and even more surprising questions that they could not have anticipated-questions that lead straight to the heart of Middle Eastern conflict. Through powerful narrative Tea With Hezbollah will draw the West into a completely fresh understanding of those we call our enemies and the teaching that dares us to love them. A must read for all who see the looming threat rising in the Middle East.

Teach Me to Be Generous: The First Century of Regis High School in New York City
by Anthony D. Andreassi C.O.Teach Me to Be Generous tells the remarkable story of Regis High School, the Jesuit school on New York’s Upper East Side that was founded in 1914 by an anonymous donor as a school for Catholic boys whose families could not otherwise afford a Catholic education. Enabled by the philanthropy of the founding family for nearly a century, and now by alumni and friends carrying on that tradition of generosity, Regis has been able to provide tuition-free, all-scholarship education for its entire history. It also holds the distinction of being the first free-standing Jesuit high school in the United States, with no connection to any Jesuit colleges or universities.Regis High School’s unique story is told by an engaging storyteller and historian who has taught at the school for more than ten years. Father Andreassi offers captivating glimpses into the lives and daily experiences of Regis’s students and faculty while chronicling the development of the school’s educational philosophyand spiritual approach in its first century. Filled with entertaining anecdotes alongside wider historical context and illuminating statistical analysis, Teach Me to Be Generous tracks Regis High School through the decades of the twentieth century to the present day—from the generosity of a devout Catholic widow, through the Depression and World War II, to changes in demographics of the Catholic community and shifts in the landscape of Catholic education in New York City. During the school’s first few decades, Regis admitted thousands of Catholic boys, mostly from poor or lower-middle-class families, helping prepare them for success in college and leadership positions in the professions. Because of the closing of dozens of urban Catholic schools and the general decline of the quality of New York City’s public schools, in more recent years the school has faced the challenge of remaining true to its mission in offering an education to Catholic boys “who otherwise would not be able to afford a Catholic education.”Teach Me to Be Generous paints a vivid portrait of the first one hundred years of an exceptional institution and looks with hope and confidence to its future.

Teach Us to Pray
by Gordon T. SmithOne of the most basic and vital dimensions of the Christian life is the practice of prayer. Frequently our prayers begin with a petition or request, so the content of our prayers is informed by our circumstances. But what if the opposite were true? What if we allowed our prayers to inform our lives? What would our lives be like if prayer altered our living and began to shape the contours and content of our daily experiences? Gordon Smith invites us to learn three movements of prayer—thanksgiving, confession, and discernment—in order to be formed and transformed by prayers that seek God's kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven." Whether you are a beginner in the life of prayer or further along, this small book is a resource for deepening your prayer practice.
