Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace

We are at our human best when we give and forgive.
But we live in a world in which it makes little sense to do either one.

In our increasingly graceless culture, where can we find the motivation to give? And how do we learn to forgive when forgiving seems counterintuitive or even futile? A deeply personal yet profoundly thoughtful book, Free of Charge explores these questionsÂ¬ â€“ and the further questions to which they give rise â€“ in light of Godâ€™s generosity and Christâ€™s sacrifice for us.

Miroslav Volf draws from popular culture as well as from a wealth of literary and theological sources, weaving his rich reflections around the sturdy frame of Paulâ€™s vision of Godâ€™s grace and Martin Lutherâ€™s interpretation of that vision. Blending the best of theology and spirituality, he encourages us to echo in our own lives Godâ€™s generous giving and forgiving.

A fresh examination of two practices at the heart of the Christian faithÂ¬ â€“ giving and forgivingÂ¬ â€“ the Archbishop of Canterburyâ€™s Lenten study book for 2006 is at the same time an introduction to Christianity. Even more, it is a compelling invitation to Christian faith as a way of life.

â€œMiroslav Volf, one of the most celebrated theologians of our day, offers us a unique interweaving of intense reflection, vivid and painfully personal stories and sheer celebration of the giving God ... I cannot remember having read a better account of what it means to say that Jesus suffered for us in our place.â€
â€“ Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
