Christian Forgiveness

Theology

“From a literary and theological standpoint, Don Algeo’s Christian Forgiveness: A New Understanding is a fascinating and methodically constructed argument. He dismantles the common, modern view of forgiveness as a primarily therapeutic tool for one’s own emotional wellbeing and replaces it with a clear and robust theological understanding. It’s theologically sound, while remaining easy to read. This contribution is a brilliant example of disciplined theological reasoning we rarely see from the mainline tradition.”
