Miroslav Volf
About Miroslav
Miroslav Volf is Founding Director of the Yale Centre for Faith and Culture, and the Henry B. Wright Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School. He has written more than 150 editorials and 15 books, including Exclusion and Embrace (1996) and A Public Faith (2011). His upbringing in Croatia as the only Christian in a school of 3,500 was pivotal in the development of his faith. A victim of intense and sustained interrogation by the government of then communist Yugoslavia, much of Volf’s work focuses on forgiveness and reconciliation. He maintains that the Christian vision of the world entails the possibility of overcoming the past for both the victim and the perpetrator of wrongs. He has been described as “one of the most celebrated theologians of our day” by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
