We are at our human best when we give and forgive. But we live in a
world in which it makes little sense to do either one. In our
increasingly graceless culture, where can we find the motivation to
give? And how do we learn to forgive when forgiving seems
counterintuitive or even futile? A deeply personal yet profoundly
thoughtful book, Free of Charge explores these questions--and the
further questions to which they give rise--in light of God's
generosity and Christ's sacrifice for us. Miroslav Volf draws from
popular culture as well as from a wealth of literary and
theological sources, weaving his rich reflections around the sturdy
frame of Paul's vision of God's grace and Martin Luther's
interpretation of that vision. Blending the best of theology and
spirituality, he encourages us to echo in our own lives God's
generous giving and forgiving. A fresh examination of two practices
at the heart of the Christian faith--giving and forgiving--the
Archbishop of Canterbury's Lenten study book for 2006 is at the
same time an introduction to Christianity. Even more, it is a
compelling invitation to Christian faith as a way of life.
"Miroslav Volf, one of the most celebrated theologians of our day,
offers us a unique interweaving of intense reflection, vivid and
painfully personal stories and sheer celebration of the giving God
. . . I cannot remember having read a better account of what it
means to say that Jesus suffered for us in our place." -- Dr. Rowan
Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
