This volume presents a wide-ranging selection from the writings of a leading contemporary philosophical theologian, Vincent Brummer. In his many books and articles Brummer has demonstrated how the tools of philosophical analysis are not only fruitful but also essential for dealing with the central issues of systematic theology. The title of this volume, "Meaning and the Christian Faith", highlights two characteristic themes that recur throughout the many writings of Vincent Brummer. Much of his work has been devoted to exploring the meaning of the Christian faith, and especially of its central claim that God is a personal being whose fellowship believers may enjoy. On the other hand, Brummer has also shown that religious belief should not be understood as an explanatory theory but rather as a way in which believers understand the meaning of their lives and their experience of the world and direct their lives accordingly. Thus in the Christian tradition believers claim that their lives are meaningful because they seek to attain ultimate happiness in the love of God. In the introductory sections throughout this volume Vincent Brummer describes how he came to pay attention to the various themes dealt with in his writings and explains why he came to deal with them in the ways he did.

This text sets out an analytical framework to examine the adequacy of the foster care allowances, paid to foster parents for the upkeep of a foster child in England. The study is intended to inform debate on issues such as the cost of childrearing, the additional direct and indirect costs to foster parents of fostering a child, and has an international dimension comparing foster care allowances in 15 countries. The examination of allowances provides evidence that there is a change in the nature of foster care and a need for policy to reflect that change. The degrees of difficulty in caring for the average foster child is greater than in previous years and local authorities are under pressure to maintain their supply of carers at a time when privatization of the fostering service is very much on the political agenda.
