By combining insights from philosophy, sociology and psychology, this volume is a valuable addition to the literature on conflict, and a useful resource for anyone encountering traumatic situations where forgiveness may prove helpful in the journey towards recovery. Mental Health Today This is a book about a singularly important topic: how do we repair relationships after a wrong, often a wrong so severe that it cannot be simply rectified? How, after either personal or communal abuse or trauma, do we avoid the vortex of recrimination and retaliation? It is a book that deserves to be read slowly and taken seriously... an important book [that] should interest students and scholars of many disciplines. Most of all it should interest those concerned for the human condition.
