Exclusion and Embrace, Revised and Updated

Viac o knihe

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.
