| Summary: | Miroslav Volf's most recent publication, A Public Faith, furthers a discussion that has become prominent in his recent works: the challenge posed by exclusive monotheism in a pluralist polity. This question frames the work. Volf spends the majority of the book reconciling claims that an exclusive religion takes a violent societal stance or one that mandates conformity among its inhabitants. Volf's specific point, however, is that Christianity (even with its exclusive claims), when understood and practiced properly, actually affirms political pluralism. |
