'''Miroslav Volf''' (born September 25, 1956) is a [[Croats|Croatian]] [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Theology|theologian]] and [[public intellectual]] who has been touted as "one of the most celebrated theologians of our day."<ref>Rowan Williams, "Foreword" in Miroslav Volf, ''Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace'' (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2005), 9.</ref> Volf currently serves as the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at [[Yale Divinity School]] and Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture at [[Yale University]]. Volf previously taught at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in his native [[Osijek]], [[Croatia]] (1979–80, 1983–90) and [[Fuller Theological Seminary]] in [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]], [[California]] (1990–1998).
 
Having received two advanced degrees under the German theologian [[Jürgen Moltmann]], Volf has forged a theology that has earned him the designation "a theologian of the bridge." The main thrust of his theology is to bring [[Christian theology]] to bear on various realms of public life, such as culture, politics, and economics. He often explores dialogues between different groups in the world—such as between denominations, faiths, and ethnic groups.
