However, i grew up in canada since about two years old. I can relate to the concepts of 'thin' faith that Volf refers to. My family embraces the type of nationalistic and patriotic catholicism that perpetrates much of the differences between the Serbs (orthodox) and Croats (Catholic) and Bosnians (Muslims). Volf's work is particularly deep in that he gives thought and theological reflection to issues that, for most in that country, only elicit violence toward the other.

By now I have figured out that you have excellent taste. If that's what you're prescribing for Lent, I'm there. Erika, I have ordered the book for myself.

I picked it up again Friday night, and could hardly read past the preface, I was so gripped by the weight of what he was saying. What great things to consider during Lent! I had intended to do Amy C. quotations throughout Lent, but felt moved to share this after reading it. I am so glad your spirit was equally touched. Thank you for sharing that. Jennifer,
