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.Exclusion and embraceIdentification (Religion)ReconciliationReligious aspectsChristianityOther (Philosophy)Religious aspectsIdentification (Religion)ReconciliationReligious aspectsChristianity.Other (Philosophy)Religious aspects.248.4Volf Miroslav1709163MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828796803321Exclusion & embrace4098689UNINA02953nam 2200601 450 991082317270332120230803195336.01-315-57978-21-317-14299-31-317-14298-51-4724-2329-1(CKB)2670000000530637(EBL)1590703(SSID)ssj0001130789(PQKBManifestationID)11673993(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001130789(PQKBWorkID)11109723(PQKB)10272051(MiAaPQ)EBC1590703(EXLCZ)99267000000053063720140312h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrEnglish national identity and football fan culture who are ya? /Tom GibbonsSurrey, England ;Burlington, Vermont :Ashgate,2014.©20141 online resource (209 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4724-2328-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Contents; Acknowledgements; 1 Introduction; 2 Theoretical Approach for Understanding Contemporary English National Identity; 3 The Unintended Consequences of Global and European Forces on English Football Fan Culture; 4 Manifestations of Englishness in Pubs during World Cup 2006; 5 Fan Debates on Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics and the Almunia Case; 6 The Club versus Country Debate in English Football and the Diverse Use of the St George's Cross; 7 Conclusion: Diminishing Contrasts, Increasing Varieties in English Football; Appendix: Research Strategy; Bibliography; IndexExamining football fans' expressions of Englishness in public houses and online spaces, the author discusses the effects of globalisation, European integration and UK devolution on English society, revealing that the use of the St George's Cross does not signal the emergence of a specifically 'English' national consciousness, but in fact masks a more complex, multi-layered process of national identity construction.
