Title: End of Memory
Description: We live in an age when it is generally accepted that past wrongs--genocides, terrorist attacks, bald personal injustices--should be constantly remembered. But Miroslav Volf here proposes the radical idea that letting go of such memories--after a certain point and under certain conditions--may actually be the appropriate course of action. The 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. --Book jacket.
