Synopsis
Life in the twenty-first century presents a disturbing reality. Otherness, the simple fact of being different in some way, has come to be defined as in and of itself evil. Miroslav Volf contends that if the healing word of the gospel is to be heard today, Christian theology must find ways of speaking that address the hatred of the other. Is there any hope of embracing our enemies? Of opening the door to reconciliation? Reaching back to the New Testament metaphor of salvation as reconciliation, Volf proposes the idea of embrace as a theological response to the problem of exclusion.Increasingly we see that exclusion has become the primary sin, skewing our perceptions of reality and causing us to react out of fear and anger to all those who are not within our (ever-narrowing) circle. In light of this, Christians must learn that salvation comes, not only as we are reconciled to God, and not only as we "learn to live with one another," but as we take the dangerous and costly step of opening ourselves to the other, of enfolding him or her in the same embrace with which we have been enfolded by God.Volf won the 2002 Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Religion for the first edition of his book, Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation (Abingdon, 1996). In that first edition, professor Volf, a Croatian by birth, analyzed the civil war and "ethnic cleansing" in the former Yugoslavia, and he readily found other examples of cultural, ethnic, and racial conflict to illustrate his points. Since September 11, 2001, and the subsequent epidemic of terror and massive refugee suffering throughout the world, Volf revised Exclusion and Embrace to account for the evolving dynamics of inter-ethnic and international strife., Life in the twenty-first century presents a disturbing reality.

Is there any hope of embracing our enemies? Of opening the door to reconciliation? Reaching back to the New Testament metaphor of salvation as reconciliation, Volf proposes the idea of embrace as a theological response to the problem of exclusion. Increasingly we see that exclusion has become the primary sin, skewing our perceptions of reality and causing us to react out of fear and anger to all those who are not within our (ever-narrowing) circle. In light of this, Christians must learn that salvation comes, not only as we are reconciled to God, and not only as we "learn to live with one another," but as we take the dangerous and costly step of opening ourselves to the other, of enfolding him or her in the same embrace with which we have been enfolded by God. Volf won the 2002 Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Religion for the first edition of his book, Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation (Abingdon, 1996). In that first edition, professor Volf, a Croatian by birth, analyzed the civil war and "ethnic cleansing" in the former Yugoslavia, and he readily found other examples of cultural, ethnic, and racial conflict to illustrate his points. Since September 11, 2001, and the subsequent epidemic of terror and massive refugee suffering throughout the world, Volf revised Exclusion and Embrace to account for the evolving dynamics of inter-ethnic and international strife., Identity talk and identity conflicts have exploded at the beginning of the twenty-first century-on university campuses, in electoral politics, and on the world stage. Shadowing this intense concern is the practice of exclusion, often to the point that the mere fact of being different-of belonging to a different religion, a different race, a different ethnic group, or a different nation-is enough to make a person the target of vilification and violence. By drawing on the character of God and on salvation as reconciliation, and anchoring both in the New Testament story of the prodigal son, Volf develops a vision of embrace as a theological response to the problem of exclusion. The first edition of Exclusion and Embrace won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award in Religion (2002) and was named among the one hundred best books of the twentieth century by Christianity Today. In the book, Volf, a Croatian by birth, responded to the identity-centered war in the former Yugoslavia, with its widespread practice of "ethnic cleansing," by developing a rich account of identity and its relation to difference, in this second edition, which also includes a response to his critics, Volf shows why and how the book is more relevant in today's world of resurgent and clashing identities than it was when he originally wrote it. Truth matters, justice matters, peace matters, and we don't need to sacrifice them at the altar of our individual and collective identities. In fact, if we lose them, not only do we lose the goodness of our particular identities but we compromise our very humanity. Book jacket.
