"But if I forgive them, doesn't that mean they get away with it?"
In a culture that prizes outrage over reconciliation, forgiveness is increasingly seen as weakness—an outdated concept that fails to take harm seriously.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 isn't about minimizing justice but about restoring hope?
In Forgiveness, public theologian Amy Orr-Ewing reclaims the transformative power of the biblical call to forgive 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; and what makes Christian forgiveness unique from secular ideas of grace and justice.
For pastors, leaders, and all Christians who long to see a healthier, less punitive culture, this book offers a reimagined vision of forgiveness that brings healing to individuals, communities, and society.
