What does it mean to forgive? The answer is widely assumed to be
self-evident but critical analysis quickly reveals the complexities
of the subject. Forgiveness has traditionally been the preserve of
Christian theology, though in the last half century - and at an
accelerating pace - psychologists, lawyers, politicians and moral
philosophers have all been making an important contribution to
questions about and our understanding of the subject. Anthony Bash
offers a vigorous restatement of the Christian view of forgiveness
in critical dialogue with those both within and without the
Christian tradition. Forgiveness is a much more complicated subject
than many theologians recognize. Bash explores the relevance of the
theoretical discussion of the topic to recent events such as the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, post-Holocaust
trials, the aftermath of 9/11 and July 7 and various high-profile
criminal cases.

If you are troubled by the loss of 'Christ' in 'Christmas'; and by
the noise, pressure and materialism of secular Advent with its
emphasis on material and commercial rather than spiritual
preparation for Christmas, this book will help you to read and
think about Advent and Christmas in a new way. Co-authored by a New
Testament specialist and a practising clinical psychologist, it
explores the familiar narratives from the Christmas story with
freshness and vigour, and draws out their implications for
day-to-day living. The Christmas story is full of themes that we
often avoid in churches - asylum seekers and refugees; death; loss
and suffering; old age; childlessness - but they can give a new
depth and meaning to our Christmas celebrations. Christmas will not
seem the same again.

Forgiveness has often viewed as a religious obligation but is
increasingly being advocated as a means of healing, release and
promoting wellbeing. Forgiveness is variously viewed as a duty,
virtue or cure, but when it comes to practising forgiveness in real
life we find it is always caught up in the complexity of the
situation. This book shines a light on how we tend to think about
forgiveness in practice, including examples from social work,
family therapy, chaplaincy and criminal justice. The book contains
many different perspectives on how we think about forgiveness,
including overviews of four major religions and reflections from
those working in the healing professions. Without advocating a
particular approach this book raises important questions around
self-forgiveness and forgiving institutions and encourages the
reader to think again about forgiveness and how it impacts,
challenges and transforms relationships.
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.
