Acknowledgements
The authors would like to express their thanks to The Templeton Foundation for funding a meeting in 2014 on the theme of ‘Participation in the God: Reassessing an Ancient Philosophical Idea’ in Notre Dame, USA in 2014 while Douglas Hedley was a Fellow of the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Studies. This meeting provided the foundation for the volume. The remarkably rich intellectual culture at Notre Dame provided an inspiring context for the early phases of this project, especially Brad Gregory and Don Stelluto. The Divinity Faculty at the University of Cambridge has been generous in its support of the subsequent work on this venture. The authors wish to thank Beatrice Rehl and her splendid team at Cambridge University Press, and Aldous Brooks for his work on the index.
