Unaware that our culture has subverted our faith, we lose a place from which to judge our own culture.

Miroslav Volf

Miroslav Volf (* 1956) ist ein aus Kroatien stammender evangelischer Theologe und Professor für Systematische Theologie an der Yale Divinity School in den USA. Bekannt wurde er durch sein vor dem Hintergrund der Jugoslawienkriege verfasstes Werk „Ausschluss und Umarmung“ sowie seine Arbeiten zu Versöhnung und Vergebung, wobei seine Positionen zum christlich-islamischen Dialog konservativ-evangelikale Kritik auslösten. Bibellesern bietet seine Theologie fundierte Impulse für gelebte Feindesliebe, den Umgang mit Schuld und das Zeugnis der Versöhnung in polarisierten Gesellschaften.
