Subject Historical and Systematic Theology public theology; common good; justice; national healing; reconciliation; Miroslav Volf.
Description Several individuals use Miroslav Volf’s theology to understand the unity of systematic theology and biblical interpretation, as well as the relationship between church theology and political theology. As a result, his work is associated with politically engaged and well-known theologians such as David Tracy, Reinhold Niebuhr and Jurgen Moltmann. It would be more beneficial to interpret Miroslav Volf’s critical work as an attempt to clarify terms such as ‘common good’, ‘embracing’ and ‘justice’. In addition to examining the political and socioeconomic environment and social exclusion in Zimbabwe, this study encourages a ‘historical-theological’ critique of social justice and social injustice.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article will provide Miroslav Volf’s public theology framework as a point of comparison and critique.
