God in All Things

God in All Things

Gerard Hughes

Hodder Stoughton
2004
pokkari
Gerard Hughes's popularity lies in the fact that he always writes directly for the individual struggling with issues of faith and life and gets right to the heart of spiritual needs and concerns. His best-seller GOD OF SURPRISES published nearly 20 years ago has sold nearly a quarter of a million copies. GOD IN ALL THINGS is a follow up to that book written for a different world and a different spiritual climate.This is a guidebook for the inner journey. It is about recognising God in the ordinary, in the joy and sadness of things, about knowing that God cannot be separated from whatever we experience. It is written for people on the fringes of Christianity, or those who are disillusioned with church structures and dogmatic theology. Hughes has written this book because he is concerned at the split between religion and life, as if religion was something apart and detached from the rest of God's creation. Apart from being a brilliant spiritual guide this book is a call to a faith in terminal decline to enlarge its concept of God and break out of the straitjacket of pious religion.
The Nature of God

The Nature of God

Gerard Hughes

Routledge
1995
sidottu
In The Nature of God, Gerard Hughes takes the central attributes ascribed to God, such as Existence, Simplicity, Omniscience, Omnipotence and Goodness and gives them a historical and analytical background. Incorporating texts by Aquinas, Ockham, Molina, Descartes, Hume and Kant, he aims to give the reader first-hand acquaintance with these classic writers, and to then discuss their arguments in the light of contemporary debate. While the focus of The Nature of God is on the philosophy of religion, Hughes widens his scope to consider its implications in epistemology, metaphysics and moral philosophy. The issues he considers include necessity and possiblity, the relation of logic to epistemology and the connections between causation and moral philosophy.

International Perspectives on Supplementary Pensions

International Perspectives on Supplementary Pensions

Lucy ApRoberts; Bryn Davies; Gerard Hughes; Emmanuel Reynaud

Praeger Publishers Inc
1996
sidottu
This international comparison of pension plans lends great understanding to the transformation taking place in almost every nation around the world. It covers ten of the twelve countries of the European Union, as well as the United States and Japan. The project is interdisciplinary, covering a number of fields, such as economics, law, actuarial science, sociology, and political science, that contribute to the analysis of retirement income systems. The chapters vary in scope - some are comparative, some are restricted to a single country or to one type of plan in one country. Despite their diversity, the chapters share a common awareness of three aspects of pension plans: the importance of actors' roles in shaping each system, the different economic and social domains affected by retirement plans, and the interconnections between social security and supplementary plans.

Walk to Jerusalem

Walk to Jerusalem

'What can little people do?' was the question put to Gerard Hughes by a Yugoslav barman reflecting on the state of his own country, world poverty, international relations and the possibility of nuclear war. It was a question Gerard Hughes had often put to himself and which had set him walking from Ayrshire to Jerusalem in search of an answer. Walk to Jerusalem describes the outer journey, mostly on foot, and the inner journey of his mind and heart as he ponders the question, 'What can we little people do?' His answer is, 'Infinitely more than we think.' Gerard Hughes' reflections on the nature of justice and the implications of belief in Christ's peace are thought-provoking. This is a challenging book which examines the nature of our spirituality today and takes us to the heart of Christian faith.
God, Where are You?

God, Where are You?

As a child of three, Gerard Hughes said the word 'God' to see what would happen. God, Where Are You? is an exploration of God's answer echoing down the arches of the following seventy years. The book began as a personal exploration of the author's lingering memories. In writing it he discovered that memory is not just a personal historical archive, but is more like a powerhouse continuously emitting energies, both creative and destructive, which affect every aspect of life. traumatic past memories can become sources of positive and life-giving energies when reflected on in the light of Augustine's assertion: 'God is closer to me than I am to myself.' The book describes the author's personal journey of exploration into the mystery of God and of human life. it is written in the belief that what is most personal is also most universal, for it is the One God in whom we all live and move and have our being. It is also written in the hope that it will encourage readers to reflect on their own lingering memories, for those memories are God's way of knocking at our door and asking to come in to share in every aspect of our lives. The author's memories provide a fascinating and absorbing account of one man's view of the Catholic Church's development in the twentieth century: from belief that there is no salvation outside the world, for God is in, as well as beyond, all things.

Britain, Germany and the Cold War

Britain, Germany and the Cold War

R. Gerald Hughes

Routledge
2007
sidottu
This well-researched book details the ambiguity in British policy towards Europe in the Cold War as it sought to pursue détente with the Soviet Union whilst upholding its commitments to its NATO allies.From the early 1950s, Britain pursued a dual policy of strengthening the West whilst seeking détente with the Soviet Union. British statesmen realized that only through compromise with Moscow over the German question could the elusive East-West be achieved. Against this, the West German hard line towards the East (endorsed by the United States) was seen by the British as perpetuating tension between the two blocs. This cast British policy onto an insoluble dilemma, as it was caught between its alliance obligations to the West German state and its search for compromise with the Soviet bloc. Charting Britain's attempts to reconcile this contradiction, this book argues that Britain successfully adapted to the new realities and made hitherto unknown contributions towards détente in the early 1960s, whilst drawing towards Western Europe and applying for membership of the EEC in 1961.Drawing on unpublished US and UK archives, Britain, Germany and the Cold War casts new light on the Cold War, the history of détente and the evolution of European integration.This book will appeal to students of Cold War history, British foreign policy, German politics, and international history.
