Can We Forgive Without God ?

Dr. Miroslav Volf of Yale Divinity School will lead us in thinking about that question at the 2008 GENEVA FORUM.

Time: 7:30 PM, Friday, April 18, 2008

Place: Room 1100, Grainger Hall of Business Administration , 975 University Ave., Madison, Wisconsin

Miroslav Volf is a well-known Christian theologian who writes and speaks widely on issues of forgiveness and group conflict. Born in Croatia, he has been deeply affected, along with his family, by the violence and conflict of post-Communist Yugoslavia. He is the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale University Divinity School, and Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. He is widely known for his work on systematic theology, ethics, conflict resolution, and peace-making.

His book, Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness and Reconciliation (Abingdon Press, 1996), was selected as among the 100 best religious books of the 20th Century by Christianity Today magazine. He has also written The End of Memory: Remembering Rightly in a Violent World (Eerdmans, 2006), Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace (Zondervan, 2005), and many other books, articles and editorials.

Volf's visit to the UW-Madison campus is part of the Geneva Forum Series of lectures and events, a ministry of Geneva Campus Church, a campus ministry of the Christian Reformed Church on the UW-Madison campus. The series is also supported by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's Faculty and Graduate Ministries and New College Madison.
