Miroslav Volf Libros

The book explores the concept of "otherness" in contemporary society, where being different is often perceived as evil. Miroslav Volf argues that Christian theology must address this hatred through the lens of reconciliation and embrace. He emphasizes that true salvation involves opening ourselves to others, moving beyond exclusion, which he identifies as a primary sin. Drawing from the New Testament and his experiences during the Yugoslav wars, Volf updates his analysis in light of global conflicts post-September 11, highlighting the urgent need for understanding and reconciliation.

Winner of the 2007 Christianity Today Book Award in Christianity and Culture How should we remember atrocities? Should we ever forgive abusers? Can we not hope for final reconciliation, even if it means redeemed victims and perpetrators spending eternity together? We live in an age which insists that past wrongs--genocides, terrorist attacks, bald personal injustices--should never be forgotten. But Miroslav Volf here proposes the radical idea that letting go of such memories--after a certain point and under certain conditions--may actually be a gift of grace we should embrace. Volf's personal stories of persecution and interrogation frame his search for theological resources to make memories a wellspring of healing rather than a source of deepening pain and animosity. Controversial, thoughtful, and incisively reasoned, The End of Memory begins a conversation that we avoid to our great detriment. This second edition includes an appendix on the memories of perpetrators as well as victims, a response to his critics, and a recent James K. A. Smith interview with Volf about the nature and function of memory in the Christian life.

The book offers profound insights that encourage readers to transcend the pettiness and selfishness prevalent in contemporary culture. Through Miroslav Volf's reflections, it emphasizes the Christian call to embody love, providing inspiration for those seeking to cultivate a more compassionate and selfless life.

Celebrated Theologian Offers Wisdom for Civic Engagement Christian citizens have a responsibility to make political and ethical judgments in light of their faith and to participate in the public lives of their communities--from their local neighborhoods to the national scene.
