Anthony Bash offers new insights into forgiveness from a biblical perspective, taking into account important findings in philosophy, politics and psychology.

The book explores what the Bible says about forgiveness so that we can better experience its regenerative and renewing effects. It also looks at what the Bible says in the light of two thousand years of thought about forgiveness. It does so in the belief that, if forgiveness is to be meaningful, it must be just.

Anthony Bash has written a careful and balanced examination of the complex and challenging nature of forgiveness. His comprehensive review of the New Testament sources is especially helpful, while his style is readily accessible and laced with contemporary and personal allusions.Bishop David Hope, Lord Hope of Thornes

This is an exceptionally thoughtful book on a subject that matters to all Christians . . . It is written very clearly and will be excellent for church groups to study together.Robin Gill, Professor of Applied Theology, University of Kent
