Biblical Boundaries of Forgiveness

“Are Christians obliged to forgive those who forgive them? . . . Deftly navigating its way through a wealth of biblical material and rendering accessible a range of scholarly views on interpersonal forgiveness, this study carefully explores the interface between forgiveness and repentance. . . . Here there is no glib talk of ‘unconditional forgiveness’: there is instead . . . an exploration which gives due weight to the real significance of what our words mean when we say to someone who has wronged us, ‘I forgive you.’”
