Repentance and the Right to Forgiveness adds the voice of rights
theory to contemporary discussions on forgiveness. Rights have been
excluded for two related reasons: first, forgiveness is often
framed as "a gift" to wrongdoers; and second, rights suggest that
victims are obligated in certain cases to forgive their wrongdoers.
Such an obligation is often considered repugnant, for it
unjustifiably wrongs (i.e., victimizes) victims, while benefiting
wrongdoers. Repentance and the Right to Forgiveness overcomes this
repugnancy by utilizing the moral theory of eireneism to craft a
rights-based theory of justice grounded in the inherent worth and
intimate moral relationships between victims, wrongdoers, and their
social community, in order to show that the particular needs of
victims make the obligation to forgive self-beneficial while also
promoting a peaceful state of just flourishing.
