Captive to the Word of God demonstrates this depth of perception. After an original essay which explains his method ("Reading the Bible Theologically"), this volume collects five essays written over the course of sixteen years. Each essay demonstrates a life and thought process infused with an understanding of God's Word.
Two essays stood out. In "Peculiar Politics: John's Gospel, Dualism, and Contemporary Pluralism," Volf undermines the so-called dualisms implicit in John's Gospel (dark/light, death/life, etc.) and demonstrates the various shades of grey. For example, What is the salvific status of Nicodemus? How can we hate the world if God loves the world? Volf then applies his understanding of the Gospel of John to our contemporary pluralistic-leaning society with penetrating observations and insight.
"Hunger for Infinity: Christian Faith and the Dynamics of Economic Progress" is another gem. Using the book of Ecclesiastes, Volf torpedoes the myth of process and reveals how our understanding of God has been co-opted to serve the "hamster wheel" of desire:
"Masters of subtle religious ideological manipulation engineered a gradual metamorphosis of the God of Jesus Christ into the god of this world. They were shrewd enough not to overdo it, however, The mask of the old God was retained; appearances must be kept up, you know." (170).
Volf is never easy reading, but a deliberate and careful reading pays dividends with this short collection of essays. ( )
