Forgiveness

Theology

“Bash's book goes beyond the sentimental cliches and platitudes that often count as Christian comments on forgiveness and has provided us with a serious study that draws on important work in philosophy and theology and also involves illuminating discussions of scripture. It advances the conversation on the topic of forgiveness and will be valuable reading for Christians and non-Christians as well.”

Remorse

Theology

“I have written on remorse in the context of criminal law and punishment, and my perspective has been largely secular. A full understanding and appreciation of the concept, however, requires its location in the context of religion. That context is splendidly provided in Bash’s book. It reveals both impressive scholarship and the ability to explain complex ideas in a clear way. It will thus be of great use to specialists in the field but also as a first introduction of the topic for the non-specialist reader.”
