The book is _Exclusion and Embrace_. It gives a wonderful account of his story along with the difficult perspective of reconciliation in the face of reality coupled with the an understanding of the cross. I haven't read all of it yet, but so far i've found it to be an excellent register regarding otherness and ideas of inclusion. <BR/><BR/>if you're interested but find that you have little time to read him or no access, google scholar Miroslav Volf pdf, and you're bound to find several articles to fit your fancy. <BR/><BR/>miss you and am soooooo proud of you. Bosnia is such a variegated culture whose beauty has been buried by the myopic view of its inhabitants that once they change the focus on their lens i do think it's possible there might be some sort of reconciliation. however, and unfortunately, this will take time and divine providence more than mere human diligence. i think you will find your time there a confluence of hope and despair, use both to inform your pursuits--they are both needed to change the damage we inflict in this world. <BR/><BR/>lovejoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350688606790291671noreply@blogger.com
