Forgiveness is a hallmark teaching within monotheistic religions.
This Element introduces the topic in three ways. First, it
considers the extent to which forgiveness is specific to or
constituted by monotheistic beliefs, by a comparison with analogous
teaching and practice in Buddhism. Second, the most extensive
section explores the grammar of forgiveness shared across the
Abrahamic traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam - elements
of repentance, intercession, and eschatological deferral. This
section identifies some of the divergent tendencies or emphases on
this topic among those traditions. A third section addresses the
role of forgiveness and monotheistic religions in human cultural
evolution and the emergence of eusociality. The aim is for the
reader to gain an introductory view of monotheism and forgiveness
from a comparative religious example, from an internal examination
of Abrahamic traditions, and from a developmental, secular
perspective.
