About Miroslav

Miroslav Volf is founder and director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture.  He is currently co-teaching a course with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair at Yale University entitled "Faith and Globalization." Religious faiths and globalization are among the most powerful forces shaping the world today. The future of the world will depend greatly on how these two forces, partly colliding and partly reinforcing one another, relate to each other.  Conflicts between faiths as a result of globalization are pushing people of different faiths more tightly together and rapidly changing their worlds.  We need to give globalization processes a more “humane face,” to infuse them with a greater sense of justice and solidarity and direct them more toward the global common good. What are the resources of the Christian faith to address both of these great issues at the intersection of faith and globalization?
