Abstract
This article explores mercy as the foundation of forgiveness and reconciliation through Miroslav Volf’s theology of exclusion and embrace. Situated within contexts of violence and injustice, it examines the tension between justice and forgiveness. Through a systematic analysis of Volf’s Exclusion and Embrace, the study highlights how identity, otherness, and exclusion are transformed by God’s merciful initiative into an embracing relationality. It argues that mercy, grounded in Trinitarian communion, enables an “embracive identity” that fosters reconciliation through openness, double vision, and the will to embrace the other.
