L'espérance a mauvaise presse, de nos jours ! Pour nombre de nos contemporains, c'est un sentiment émollient qui dissuade de se révolter contre l'injustice et même d'agir, en invitant à rêver à un avenir consolant ! Les chrétiens eux-mêmes n'osent plus guère faire de la "deuxième vertu" une dimension essentielle de leur vie. Mais, pour le lecteur de la Bible, l'espérance est moins une vision optimiste de l'avenir qu'une façon savoureuse de vivre le présent.L'espérance n'est pas un rêve pour demain, mais ce qui donne sens (signification et direction) à son aujourd'hui en Dieu. En ce domaine comme en beaucoup d'autres, Jésus le Christ retourne les perspectives : comme la foi, l'espérance n'est pas un effort de l'homme pour s'élever vers Dieu, mais un don gratuit qui vient à nous : "L'homme est une espérance de Dieu" (pasteur Charles Wagner).

"In this thesis, the phenomenon of fundamental hope is understood as atmosphere. -- "As a metaphor, hope as atmosphere finds a new expression of hope other than the light-metaphor that dominates the discourse of hope. Hope is not only the light that illuminates the dark moments of life, but also, more fundamentally, in the air, it lies in the sphere in-between and saturates each life experience and every living moment. -- "As an existential reality, hope as atmosphere reveals our hopeful way of atmospheric co-existence. Communal love constitutes the ground of this hopeful co-existence, it keeps the hopeful co-existence constantly refreshed and open, guaranteeing more possibilities of hope. On the basis of communal love, hopeful co-existence shows its ontological meaning as a way towards life. -- "The thesis of hope as atmosphere finds resonance and expression not only in Christian trinitarianly based understanding of hope, but also in the most central doctrine of co-humanity in Confucianism."

"Releasing Hope was born out of the first book, Arresting Hope, which describes participatory health research and the experience of women incarcerated inside a British Columbian provincial correctional centre from 2005 to 2007. Readers of Arresting Hope, moved by the stories written by incarcerated women, asked, 'What happened next?' And, 'How are the women doing, now that they are released from prison?' Starting in 2007, women who were released from prison formed a network called Women in2 Healing because they wished to continue participatory health research in the community. Their overarching research question was, 'How can we improve the health of women in prison and following their release?' Releasing Hope describes the journeys of formerly incarcerated women and their encounters with the barriers (financial, emotional, familial, systemic) that they confronted during their reintegration in the community. Releasing Hope touches on the stories of individual women and the learning from participatory health research that made visible their lives, their hopes, their dreams and fears."--
