The Theology of Ethnocultural Empathic Turn: Getting to the Core of Sacralized Crime delves into the roots of ethnoreligious tensions in the former Yugoslav territories and 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 in mentioned areas. 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's turn in Matthew 15:21-28. This book contributes significantly to developing the first Balkan contextual theology, drawing upon new political theology and theologies of liberation.
