Should we ever forgive abusers? Can we not hope for final reconciliation, even if it means redeemed victims and perpetrators spending eternity together? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e We live in an age that insists that past wrongs--genocides, terrorist attacks, bald personal injustices--should \u003ci\u003enever\u003c\/i\u003e be forgotten. But Miroslav Volf here proposes the radical idea that \u003ci\u003eletting go\u003c\/i\u003e of such memories--after a certain point and under certain conditions--may be a gift of grace we should embrace. Volf's personal stories of persecution and interrogation frame his search for theological resources to make memories a wellspring of healing rather than a source of deepening pain and animosity. Controversial, thoughtful, and incisively reasoned, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e begins a conversation that we avoid to our great detriment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis second edition includes an appendix on the memories of perpetrators as well as victims, a response to critics, and a James K.
