Description
The Theology of Ethnocultural Empathic Turn draws upon Radomir Kostantinovics Philosophy of Parochialism to delve into the roots of ethnoreligious tensions in the former Yugoslav territories. It provides a comprehensive understanding of this specific politico-religious issue, exposing how the sacralization of ethnonational mythology influences present-day conflicts. Through meticulous analysis, the author examines the intertwining of (ethno)totalitarianism and (ethno)clericalism, which foster a "killing culture" supported by the dominant part of structures of the Catholic Church in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the Serbian Orthodox Church. Transitioning from historical analysis to proposing a solution, the author advocates for an "ethnocultural empathy turn", integrating ethnocultural empathy as a branch of social psychology with the example of Jesus' turn in Matthew 15:21-28. Highlighting individuals like Bishop Srecko Badurina and layperson Franjo Starcevic, who embody an authentic evangelical spirit amidst the former Yugoslav conflict, the book makes a compelling case for liberation from ethnoreligious captivity. This book contributes significantly to developing the first Balkan contextual theology, drawing upon new political theology and theologies of liberation.
