"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In a culture that prizes outrage over reconciliation, forgiveness is increasingly seen as weakness--an outdated concept that fails to take harm seriously.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
● 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.
Amy Orr-Ewing (DPhil, University of Oxford) is an international speaker, theologian, and public advocate for the Christian faith. She is the author of many books, including Mary's Voice, Where Is God in All the Suffering?, and Why Trust the Bible? Orr-Ewing has spoken in the UK Parliament, the US Capitol, and the West Wing of the White House. She is also an honorary lecturer at the University of Aberdeen and a distinguished scholar at Wheaton College. She lives near Oxford, England, with her husband and their three sons.
