summary

Happiness is a subject of increased interest of the social sciences and the general public nowadays. Theology, too, is trying to find its way back to happiness and to show that the Christian faith not only refers to afterlife bliss, but also contributes significantly to coping with earthly life. The book reflects on contemporary theologies of happiness and points to the different approaches in the Protestant and Catholic traditions. An assessment of the importance of human action in achieving a successful life proves to be crucial. The notion of God’s blessing, related to human action, can link love of neighbor and self-love into a whole that makes the experience of happiness possible.
