In this book, David Konstan argues that the modern concept of interpersonal forgiveness, in the full sense of the term, did not exist in ancient Greece and Rome. Even more startlingly, it is not fully present in the Hebrew Bible, nor in the New Testament or in the early Jewish and Christian commentaries on the Holy Scriptures. It would still be centuries - many centuries - before the idea of interpersonal forgiveness, with its accompanying ideas of apology, remorse, and a change of heart on the part of the wrongdoer, would emerge. For all its vast importance today in religion, law, politics and psychotherapy, interpersonal forgiveness is a creation of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when the Christian concept of divine forgiveness was fully secularized. Forgiveness was God's province and it took a revolution in thought to bring it to earth and make it a human trait.

For psychologists and psychotherapists, the notion of forgiveness has been enjoying a substantial vogue. For their patients, it holds the promise of "moving on" and healing emotional wounds. The forgiveness of others - and of one's self - would seem to offer the kind of peace that psychotherapy alone has never been able to provide. In this volume, psychologist Sharon Lamb and philosopher Jeffrie Murphy argue that forgiveness has been accepted as a therapeutic strategy without serious, critical examination. They intend this volume to be a closer, critical look at some of these questions: why is forgiveness so popular now? What exactly does it entail? When might it be appropriate for a therapist not to advise forgiveness? When is forgiveness in fact harmful? Lamb and Murphy have collected many previously-unpublished chapters by both philosophers and psychologists that examine what is at stake for those who are injured, those who injure them, and society in general when such a practice becomes commonplace. Some chapters offer cautionary tales about forgiveness therapy, while others paint complex portraits of the social, cultural, and philosophical factors that come into play with forgiveness. The value of this volume lies not only in its presentation of a nuanced view of this therapeutic trend, but also as a general critique of psychotherapy, and as a valuable testimony of the theoretical and practical possibilities in an interdisciplinary collaboration between philosophy and clinical psychology.

This book is based on aspects of the author's life. It seeks to encourage readers to forgive and work to repair the relationships in their lives, knowing that people have struggles and sometimes need more help than abandonment. The author also encourages readers to seek the Lord and His direction in the scenarios in each chapter. The author wants to help her own family heal and others who have been hurt. The author's honesty about her mental health provides an opening to reach readers personally, encouraging their positive responses to the healing and understanding the book can bring. The author has keen insight into relationships and the importance of having God included in those relationships. Each chapter offers advice on how to really assess a relationship with someone and what might be needed in order to restore the connection or move forward with forgiveness and closure. - Xulon Pres This book is a life lesson for many individuals and families. It is a raw, uninhibited account of the writer's personal journey. Life is unscripted and things don't always go the way we would like, and relationships can be harmed or even broken, sometimes by circumstances beyond our control. The question becomes, "How do we view people we are in conflict with?" But more importantly, "How do we see ourselves and the implications of our conduct?" The book also explores the circumstances that can cause rifts in even the closest relationships. The pain and emotional toll are highlighted and helps to explain why people sometimes do what they do or why they are the way they are. The beginning of the book sets up a backdrop of how one woman struggle and decision to salvage the torn relationships with the people she loves. She sought spiritual guidance to learn how to see others' perspectives and how to start the dialogue to begin the healing process. Second chances can be hard to come by. Therefore, torn relationships are not being reconciled and can affected people for years. But, faith in God and sincere introspective and forgiveness reconciliation can be achieved. The song, "I Need You to Survive" comes to mind, illustrating that life is so much more meaningful and rewarding when you have the right relationship with God and those who matter most to us. -Austin L. Patterson III

'The Philosophy of Forgiveness, Volume III: Forgiveness in World Religions' is a collection of essays that explores the philosophy of forgiveness in different religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Each chapter scours one of these religions for insights on the concept of forgiveness, asking questions such as whether forgiveness is a virtue, whether it is conditional, whether God has standing to forgive, and whether it is permissible not to forgive some extreme wrongs. In some of the chapters, the concept of forgiveness in one religion is compared with that in another. In other chapters, the ideas of different traditions within a religion are compared and contrasted. Also, some chapters compare a religious concept to the views of a philosophical figure, such as Aristotle, Kant, or Derrida. The contributors to the volume come from various cultural and religious backgrounds and from different disciplines, such as philosophy, religious studies, and psychology. The collection is written for scholars, graduate students, and upper-division undergraduate students interested in forgiveness or comparative religious philosophy.

Do something! Act on your plan Forgiveness doesn't just happen; it takes preparation The person who gains most from forgiving is the forgiver Patience is a virtue The real courage lies in trying again - and maybe again TO FORGIVE IS TO ACCUSE. REFUSING TO FORGIVE IS LIKE TAKING POISON AND EXPECTING SOMEONE ELSE TO DIE. AS LONG AS YOU CAN'T FORGIVE THEM, THEY ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. THE PERSON WHO GAINS MOST IN FORGIVING IS THE FORGIVER. THE PATH TO FORGIVING MEANS ACCEPTING YOUR OWN DARK SIDE. FORGIVING BECOMES A HABIT. YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK WHAT HAPPENED OR MAKE THINGS JUST AS THEY WERE BEFORE. FORGIVENESS IS A BALANCE OF JUSTICE AND MERCY. DON'T GIVE UP YOUR GOALS, BUT QUESTION YOUR METHODS. VENGEANCE IS A VICIOUS CIRCLE

Gary Inrig brings wonderful breadth, depth, and balance to a very difficult subject: forgiveness. As one 83-year-old theologian, Rev. Herb VanderLugt, says, "This is the best book on the subject I have ever read." Whether it's living forgiven, learning to forgive, what to do when an offender refuses to request forgiveness, whether we're asking, giving, or waiting for forgiveness, this book covers the subject with Inrig's on-the-mark illustrations and solid biblical teaching. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the subject of forgiveness to the Christian faith. If the Bible makes it clear that Christians are forgiven people, it also makes it clear that we are to be forgiving people. How and when do we do that? What does it look like?

In this book, eminent scholars of classical antiquity and ancient and medieval Judaism and Christianity explore the nature and place of forgiveness in the pre-modern Western world. They discuss whether the concept of forgiveness, as it is often understood today, was absent, or at all events more restricted in scope than has been commonly supposed, and what related ideas (such as clemency or reconciliation) may have taken the place of forgiveness. An introductory chapter reviews the conceptual territory of forgiveness and illuminates the potential breadth of the idea, enumerating the important questions a theory of the subject should explore. The following chapters examine forgiveness in the contexts of classical Greece and Rome; the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, and Moses Maimonides; and the New Testament, the Church Fathers, and Thomas Aquinas.
