In this book, eminent scholars of classical antiquity and ancient
and medieval Judaism and Christianity explore the nature and place
of forgiveness in the pre-modern Western world. They discuss
whether the concept of forgiveness, as it is often understood
today, was absent, or at all events more restricted in scope than
has been commonly supposed, and what related ideas (such as
clemency or reconciliation) may have taken the place of
forgiveness. An introductory chapter reviews the conceptual
territory of forgiveness and illuminates the potential breadth of
the idea, enumerating the important questions a theory of the
subject should explore. The following chapters examine forgiveness
in the contexts of classical Greece and Rome; the Hebrew Bible, the
Talmud, and Moses Maimonides; and the New Testament, the Church
Fathers, and Thomas Aquinas.
