We are pleased to announce that Professor Miroslav Volf will be speaking at Oxygen conference as a special guest. Returning this August, Oxygen exists to serve anyone in Christian ministry—to refresh them in their zeal for God and the work that He has called them to do.
This year, Oxygen will return as a 4-day conference retreat in the beautiful Blue Mountains. Through bible talks, practical workshops and rich fellowship in a quiet and focused space, delegates will be invited to check their hearts and spiritual health for ministry.
Professor Volf is the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology and Yale Divinity School and founding Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. His most recent books are Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most and The Home of God: A Brief Story of Everything. His earlier works include Otherness, and Reconciliation (1996), a winner of the 2002 Grawemeyer Award; After Our Likeness: The Church as the Image of the Trinity (1998), winner of the Christianity Today book award, and Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace (2006), which was the Archbishop of Canterbury Lenten book for 2006.
Alongside international evangelists John Lennox and Glen Scrivener, Miroslav will be joining us virtually, in a live-cross interview, for one of our evening segments titled ‘The Non-Negotiables of Christian Ministry’. All delegates will receive free digital access to Miroslav’s resource, ‘Why Did God Create the World?’

In this talk, Miroslav Volf explores the topic of ‘Loving For No Reason’ from the passage Job 1:1-12. He answers the popular questions: Did Job wrong God? Did God wrong Job? Or is there a third option?
Interview: Good, Evil, Suffering, and Silence
In this interview, Miroslav Volf and CCT Director Evan Rosa discuss the nature of the good life in light of the experience of suffering. Suffering is examined through the lenses of agency, intellectual comprehension, and prayer. Miroslav discusses how experiences of suffering can lead to disorientation in all these categories, and he offers Christians a few ways to move forward in the face of this reality.
In this talk, Miroslav explains the biblical definition of forgiveness and what has motivated his family to forgive people who have caused them harm.
