Being Reconciled

More about the book

This book presents a radical rethinking of the theological concept of the Gift, exploring divine reconciliation through the lens of freedom and exchange. It examines Creation, grace, and incarnation as heavenly gifts while framing the Fall, evil, and violence as refusals of those gifts. Engaging with prominent philosophers, John Milbank argues that true reconciliation on earth hinges on the transmission of divine forgiveness, asserting that philosophical notions of forgiveness and redemption must be completed by theological insights.
