Arguments for forgiveness, mercy, and clemency abound. These arguments flourish in organized religion, fiction, philosophy, and law as well as in everyday conversations of daily life among parents and children, teachers and students, and criminals and those who judge them. As common as these arguments are, we are often left with an incomplete understanding of what we mean when we speak about them. This volume examines the registers of individual psychology, religious belief, social practice, and political power circulating in and around those who forgive, grant mercy, or pose clemency power. The authors suggest that, in many ways, necessary examinations of the questions of forgiveness and pardon and the connection between mercy and justice are only just beginning.

In Pardons, Kathleen Dean Moore addresses a host of crucial questions surrounding acts of clemency, including what justifies pardoning power, who should be pardoned, and the definition of an unforgivable crime. Illustrating her arguments with rich and fascinating historical examples--some scandalous or funny, others inspiring or tragic--Moore examines the philosophy of pardons from King James II's practice of selling pardons for two shillings, through the debates of the Founding Fathers over pardoning power, to the record low number of pardons during recent U. S. administrations. Carefully analyzing the moral justification of clemency, Moore focuses on presidential pardons, revealing that over and over again--after the Civil War, after Prohibition, after the Vietnam War, and after Watergate--controversies about pardons have arisen at times when circumstances have prevented people from thinking dispassionately about them. Her groundbreaking study concludes with recommendations for the reform of presidential pardoning practices.

Through man's sin at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil God set into motion a redemptive act that would allow mankind to commune without spot or blemish with a Holy God by sending a piece of Him to take on earthly human form, live a life without sin, but die a death meant for the worst of sinners; IN YOUR PLACE AS SACRIFICE FOR ALL SIN. If Jesus died to bring forgiveness of your past sins, then every time you sinned Jesus would have to go back on the cross and die again for your sin. Jesus' death was a finished work of redemption meaning this - YOU are forgiven for past, present, and future sin; He was beaten, ridiculed, tortured, stabbed, spit on, mocked, died, went to the pit of hell to take back the keys of spiritual separation, and rose from the dead in a finished continual work to cover all humankinds sin, shortcomings, failures, disease, mistakes, and death itself to bring God's most beloved creation YOU back into right standing with God The Father.Absolution comes from the root word Absolute. It is a strong English word with definitive meaning; It is a word that expresses sharp complete and total completion. In this word God began to bring so much peace to me; It is human nature to think back and wish one did this differently or didn't go down that road; Maybe could erase a mistake or two and do a few things better. There is nothing wrong with thinking about your past; remembering the great accomplishments, reflecting on how you learned from this action or that encounter. It is really important though, not to fall into a trap of regret. The dean of students at a Bible college I attended was giving a lecture and asked the classroom this question: "How many of you would like to erase your mistakes?", the whole classroom raises their hands. "If you learn from your mistakes, it erase the mistake and turns it into a life lesson" - Pastor Todd Holmes. Regret can lead you down a road to depression that swallows someone from moving forward in a self inflicted force to undermine accomplishing great things for the kingdom of God. It is easy to go deep into thought about mistakes and after a short while it becomes a long winding road where your mind is only clouded with regret and you forget all the wonderful things God has done for you. The enemy of your soul fights on a minute by minute basis to try and distract you from living a full and meaningful life; One of the ways Satan tries to distract the believer is by putting thoughts into your head. The best way to avoid focusing on all the mistakes you may have made is by focusing on all the wonderful ways God has showed up for you and blessed you with life. Like I said it is great to learn from life; It is destructive to regret your life! In the chapters of this book we are going to focus on the amazing, absolute, complete, and total forgiveness God has granted to everyone living on planet earth through dissection of the Holy written Word of God; Through testimonies; Life stories; Inspirational quotations; And many other sources to bring wisdom and relevance to this subject of amazing grace and wonderful good news = The Gospel.

Love Mercy is a thoughtful and realistic exploration of forgiveness and making peace from bestselling author and broadcaster Samuel Wells. Utterly realistic about the nature and effects of the hurt we inflict both as individuals and societies, and the conditions and work that is needed to bring healing, it sees forgiveness as a twelve-step process, beginning with resolve and culminating in the newness of resurrection. With deep pastoral wisdom and insight it reflects on the issues and challenges that touch us all and offers a way of living to bring us into reconciliation with ourselves, with others, with creation and with God. Love Mercy is the sequel to 'Walk Humbly' and the second of three volumes by Samuel Wells that offer a basic introduction to Christian faith and life.

Nearly every country in the world has a mechanism for executive clemency, which, though residual in most legal systems, serves as a vital due process safeguard and as an outlet for leniency in punishment. While the origins of clemency lie in the historical prerogative powers of once-absolute rulers, modern clemency laws and practices have evolved to be enormously varied. This volume brings comparative and empirical analysis to bear on executive clemency, building a sociological and political context around systematically-collected data on clemency laws, grants, and decision-making. Some jurisdictions have elaborate constitutional and legal structures for pardoning or commuting a sentence while virtually never doing so, while others have little formal process and yet grant clemency frequently. Using examples from Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the USA, this comparative analysis of the law and the practice of clemency sheds light on a frequently misunderstood executive power. This book builds on existing academic scholarship and expands the limited geographical scope of prior research, which has tended to focus on North America, the UK, and Australia. It relays the latest state of knowledge on the topic and employs case studies, doctrinal legal analysis, historical research, and statements by clemency decision-making authorities, in explaining why clemency varies so considerably across global legal and political systems. In addition, it includes contributions encompassing international law, transitional justice, and innocence and wrongful convictions, as well as on jurisdictions that are historically under-researched. The book will be of value to practitioners, academics, and students interested in the fields of human rights, criminal law, comparative criminal justice, and international relations.

On January 11, 2003, Illinois Governor George Ryan--a Republican on record as saying that "some crimes are so horrendous . . . that society has a right to demand the ultimate penalty"--commuted the capital sentences of all 167 prisoners on his state's death row. Critics demonized Ryan. For opponents of capital punishment, however, Ryan became an instant hero whose decision was seen as a signal moment in the "new abolitionist" politics to end killing by the state. In this compelling and timely work, Austin Sarat provides the first book-length work on executive clemency. He turns our focus from questions of guilt and innocence to the very meaning of mercy. Starting from Ryan's controversial decision, Mercy on Trial uses the lens of executive clemency in capital cases to discuss the fraught condition of mercy in American political life. Most pointedly, Sarat argues that mercy itself is on trial. Although it has always had a problematic position as a form of "lawful lawlessness," it has come under much more intense popular pressure and criticism in recent decades. This has yielded a radical decline in the use of the power of chief executives to stop executions. From the history of capital clemency in the twentieth century to surrounding legal controversies and philosophical debates about when (if ever) mercy should be extended, Sarat examines the issue comprehensively. In the end, he acknowledges the risks associated with mercy--but, he argues, those risks are worth taking.

Sister Joan Chittister is a bestselling author for a very good reason. She takes difficult and even mysterious concepts and "breaks them open" for us. Here she tackles the virture of mercy and its connection to forgiveness. She challenges us to stop judging, accusing, and criticizing those we label "sinners" and to see ourselves in their number. She invites us to be realistic about our own actions before we "throw that first stone" at another. This is spiritual reading at its very best.
