Reviews

Forgiveness is not one thing. It is a rich, multifaceted, multilayered concept that represents many things to different people. As a psychologist, I find it refreshing to read theologians' many different understandings of the varieties of forgiving and of ways to practice its art. And nothing brings home this freshness like reading essays by bright people in different disciplines (generally theology) from different countries (generally New Zealand). This was a stimulating and broadening read--great for theologians but enlightening regardless of one's background. -- Everett L. Worthington, Virginia Commonwealth University If we do not learn to practice the art of forgiveness, our future will forever be determined by the evils of the past. Forgiveness is not easy, but this book is sure to help, both by tutoring us in the art of forgiveness, and by alerting us once more to the resources of grace. -- Murray Rae, Senior Lecturer in Theology, University of Otago, New Zealand
