Partial contents:
Both Judaism and Christianity emphasize the importance of memory, Jews must remenber the exodus, Christians the crucifixion. Miroslav Volf stresses the negative consequences of too much remembering, particularly remembering wrongs done to an individual or a group. When wrongs are never forgotten, they cannot be forgiven and they generate hatreds that survive forever. Nevertheless, this book does not ignore the danger of premature forgetting, which is as much a problem as excessive remembering. Volf skilfully weaves his own experience as a victim of persecution in communist Yugoslavia into his scholarly meditation.
