Editions Rodopi, 2010. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Dimensions of the concept of forgiveness are introduced by Allers (philosophy, Cornerstone U., Grand Rapids, Michigan; Institute for Christian Studies, Toronto) and Smit (prison pastoral care, U. of Tilburg, The Netherlands). Contributors to ten essays from several disciplines offer perspectives on forgiveness in the contexts of the relationship between past actions and future possibilities, who has the authority to forgive, the Judeo-Christian tradition in a globalized, secularized world, and everyday life. They treat such difficult issues as political apologies for collective guilt, the role of forgiveness in marriage, and whether remembrances help communities heal from homicides. The volume is based on a namesake conference which took place in Salzburg, Austria in 2009. Not indexed. Prices are converted from Euros and subject to fluctuation.

Paperback, [PU: Brill], Amidst the cacophony of claims made about forgiveness, this book serves to aid in an effort to put "forgiveness in perspective." Marieke Smit and Christopher R. Allers have collected here ten essays written by twelve authors from around the world and across the disciplinary spectrum including philosophers, practitioners, psychologists, literary theorists, and prison chaplains. All the essays offer a perspective on forgiveness and put forgiveness in perspective whether by tracing what forgiveness "is," how this religious inheritance is worked out in our secularizing societies, how forgiveness works in our quotidian experience, or a particular manifestation in a particular context such as marriage, prison, or after an abortion, to name a few. The multi-disciplinary character of this book provides a multi-disciplinary appeal as well as a resource to enlarge one's own perspective on this perplexing, enigmatic, and wonderfully complex concept of forgiveness., Religion
