I just watched an intriguing series of videos (thanks to Matthew Miller) where Miroslav Volf discusses a number of issues related to his newly released book “A Public Faith”. He discusses the place for religion in the public sphere and how it ought to look despite its necessary ambiguity at some level in detailing the specifics of that engagement. Good stuff (as I’m sure the book is). I could hear echoes of Bonhoeffer’s Ethics throughout these clips.

What a GREAT series!
Thank you for putting these clips up on your blog. I found these videos both helpful and hopeful, especially at this time of year when we reflect on the past to deliver us in humility to improve our future.
