Miroslav Volf on The Paul Edwards Program

Posted on by

Miroslav Volf was grew up in Communist Yugoslavia the son of a Christian pastor. He is Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School and the Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture.

He joined me for an extended conversation about his new book, Allah: A Christian Response in  which he makes several (seemingly) controversial assertions:

    • What the Qur’an denies about God as the Holy Trinity has been denied by every great teacher of the church in the past and ought to be denied by Christians today.
    • A person can be both a practicing Muslim and 100 percent Christian without denying core convictions of belief and practice.
    • How two faiths, worshipping the same God, can work toward the common good under a single government.

The audio of my interview with Dr. Volf is linked here:

Is Miroslav Volf the next big controversy in evangelicalism?

Miroslav Volf is a respected theologian and scholar at Yale Divinity School. HarperOne has just published Volf’s Allah: A Christian Response.

If you thought HarperOne set evangelicalism on fire with Rob Bell’s Love Wins, note this from their website promoting Volf’s book:

Writing from a Christian perspective, and in dialogue with leading Muslim scholars and leaders from around the world, Volf reveals surprising points of intersection and overlap between these two faith traditions:

    • What the Qur’an denies about God as the Holy Trinity has been denied by every great teacher of the church in the past and ought to be denied by Christians today.
    • A person can be both a practicing Muslim and 100 percent Christian without denying core convictions of belief and practice.
    • How two faiths, worshipping the same God, can work toward the common good under a single government.

Miroslav Volf is my guest today at 5:15pm ET.
