Forgiveness

Description

In a culture that prizes outrage over reconciliation, forgiveness is increasingly seen as weakness--an outdated concept that fails to take harm seriously. But what if forgiveness is not about minimizing justice but about restoring hope? In Forgiveness, international apologist Amy Orr-Ewing reclaims the transformative power of the biblical command and explains why it remains Christianity's most radical gift to a world in crisis. Drawing from theology, psychology, history, and literature, she explores numerous themes: · why forgiveness remains a cornerstone of human flourishing · the impact of forgiveness on both personal and cultural levels · how forgiveness upholds justice rather than undermining it · what makes Christian forgiveness unique from secular ideas of grace and justice For pastors, leaders, and all Christians engaging today's culture, this book offers a reimagined vision of forgiveness that brings healing to individuals, communities, and society.
