Should we ever forgive abusers? Can we not hope for final reconciliation, even if it means redeemed victims and perpetrators spending eternity together? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe live in an age that insists that past wrongs--genocides, terrorist attacks, bald personal injustices--should \u003ci\u003enever\u003c\/i\u003e be forgotten. But Miroslav Volf here proposes the radical idea that \u003ci\u003eletting go\u003c\/i\u003e of such memories--after a certain point and under certain conditions--may actually be a gift of grace we should embrace. Volf's personal stories of persecution and interrogation frame his search for theological resources to make memories a wellspring of healing rather than a source of deepening pain and animosity. Controversial, thoughtful, and incisively reasoned, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e begins a conversation that we avoid to our great detriment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis second edition includes an appendix on the memories of perpetrators as well as victims, a response to critics, and a James K. A. Smith interview with Volf about the nature and function of memory in the Christian life.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577993011473,"sku":"GOR012693681","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740208308497,"sku":"NGR9780802878670","price":28.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802878679.jpg?v=1750849960","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/end-of-memory-book-miroslav-volf-9780802878670","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
