Exclusion and Embrace: Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness and Reconciliation
This is the most important book on ethnicity and reconciliation at urbana.org. Miroslav Volf is taking on a fiercly critical audience - fellow theologians, but his insight is biblical, profound, and personal. Volf is a Croatian theologian, who got drawn into a study of ethnicity during the Balkan wars of the mid-nineties. Specifically, he knew God wanted him not to hate Serbs, despite their ethnic cleansing and terrorism against his own people. Volf found this call to love them disgusting, but he started working on it, and learning and submitting to scripture. He also was not going to compromise on justice, as far as the bible is concerned. The violence, the systematic rape, the savagery of human agency cannot be done away with. Volf is about talking truth - there is real, serious, "cosmic terror" out there. The result is this book.
