Book Description
Despite recent interest in forgiveness and reconciliation, relatively little research has been conducted on forgiveness in literary studies. A Poetics of Forgiveness explores the profound links between creativity and forgiveness, and argues that creative production and interpretation can play a vital role in practices of forgiveness. Developing a model of "poetic forgiveness" through the work of Julia Kristeva, Jacques Derrida, and Kelly Oliver, A Poetics of Forgiveness asks how forgiveness is expressed in literature and other art forms, and what creative works can bring to secular debates on forgiveness and conflict resolution. Jill Scott explores these questions in a wide variety of historical and cultural contexts, from Homer s Iliad to 9/11 novels, from postwar Germany to post-Apartheid South Africa, in canonical texts and in diverse media, including film, photography, and testimony.

Book Description
“Mesmerizing, magical, deeply moving.” —Elif Shafak Expanding on the popular podcast of the same name from On Being Studios, Poetry Unbound offers immersive reflections on fifty powerful poems. In the tumult of our contemporary moment, poetry has emerged as an inviting, consoling outlet with a unique power to move and connect us, to inspire fury, tears, joy, laughter, and surprise. This generous anthology pairs fifty illuminating poems with poet and podcast host Pádraig Ó Tuama’s appealing, unhurried reflections. With keen insight and warm personal anecdotes, Ó Tuama considers each poem’s artistry and explores how its meaning can reach into our own lives. Focusing mainly on poets writing today, Ó Tuama engages with a diverse array of voices that includes Ada Limón, Ilya Kaminsky, Margaret Atwood, Ocean Vuong, Layli Long Soldier, and Reginald Dwayne Betts. Natasha Trethewey meditates on miscegenation and Mississippi; Raymond Antrobus makes poetry out of the questions shot at him by an immigration officer; Martín Espada mourns his father; Marie Howe remembers and blesses her mother’s body; Aimee Nezhukumatathil offers comfort to her child-self. Through these wide-ranging poems, Ó Tuama guides us on an inspiring journey to reckon with self-acceptance, history, independence, parenthood, identity, joy, and resilience. For anyone who has wanted to try their hand at a conversation with poetry but doesn’t know where to start, Poetry Unbound presents a window through which to celebrate the art of being alive.

Book Description
Forgive God for letting you live in a world of fear, pain, and sorrow. Forgive yourself for asking to be born to experience a world of fear, pain, and sorrow. Forgive all humanity from one end of the world to the other for all the wrong things you think they have done to you and your love ones. Forgive the lion that clawed you; forgive the bear that attacked you. Forgive the ants that flood your counter top; forgive the cockroaches that infest your floors; forgive the spiders that fang you as you sleep. Forgive the tree that timbered on your rooftop; forgive the poison oak that infected your skin. Forgive viruses, bacteria, and cells that make you feel the painful effects of illness; forgive the pollen, dander, and foods that give the illusion of allergies. Forgive all life and let the domino effect fall where it may. Send good and positive energy that will flow through the current of the air, ultimately reaching the universe where it will boomerang mind to mind, life to life. Remember to thank God and the universe for the domino and boomerang effect through forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness breaks the chains of bondage of all life. Forgiveness releases you and them from the burdens of prison. I forgive you, and your chains and mine are broken. We are now free to be. Let the domino effect sweep through and let the boomerang effect soar through the core of your mind and heart where the spirit will be awakened because it remembers truth. I recognize and understand fully how controversial some of this poetry is. Controversial comes from many various beliefs, what we choose to believe, sadness, and where we are spiritually. We are certainly free to choose what we will believe, but one day, we will all be in the same place of truth even though we may not foresee it as of yet. The brutal things we do to one another are very heartbreaking, full of sorrow. But forgiveness lets you keep your peace, strength, and power. Enjoy the pleasures of life to balance out the pains we endure. In spite of accepting the truth of what I have asked for, I choose to remain humble and value compassion of all the suffering we encounter in our lives and all over the world. This world certainly needs salvation, and forgiveness will save all of us for forgiveness is the key, and you are the key. Always remember, God willed us back home to Him before we were even born. Heaven is where we come from. Heaven is our home where freedom is limitless and love reigns forever. I send my wishes and desires of forgiveness and love and righteousness from my mind to yours, blessing you with peace, happiness, wellness, salvation, and ultimately, true freedom. In the love of Christ! Amen.

Book Description
A semantic study of God’s righteousness and justice in the Hebrew Bible that draws exegetical, theological, and philosophical conclusions about the character of God and God’s relationship with humanity. God’s work of creation and salvation for the good of Israel, humanity, and the world manifests the nature of God’s being. Thus, if we can understand God’s characteristics of righteousness and justice, we can better understand God. In the Hebrew Bible, these aspects of God are not expressed by abstract concepts but by semantic elements within literary structures. From this premise, Jože Krašovec undertakes the present study to put semantics into dialogue with exegesis and theology to illuminate exactly how God’s righteousness and justice in the Old Testament should be understood. In the first part of the book, Krašovec analyzes occurrences of the Hebrew root ṣdq (meaning righteous) and other synonyms, working systematically through the entire Old Testament canon. In the second part, he builds off this lexical study with a more broadly exegetical, theological, and philosophical exploration of guilt, punishment, mercy, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Krašovec concludes, among other things, that the biblical writers use “righteousness” as an expression of God’s affection for faithful people, especially those in distress because of persecution. God’s righteousness therefore exists in the Hebrew Bible in relation to the righteousness of human individuals and communities. Justice—whether in the form of forgiveness for the penitent or punishment for those who have hardened their hearts against God—is always carried out with the goal of building better community among God’s people.

Book Description
In current debates about coming to terms with individual and collective wrongdoing, the concept of forgiveness has played an important but controversial role. For a long time, the idea was widespread that a forgiving attitude — overcoming feelings of resentment and the desire for revenge — was always virtuous. Recently, however, this idea has been questioned. The contributors to this volume do not take sides for or against forgiveness but rather examine its meaning and function against the backdrop of a more complex understanding of moral repair in a variety of social, circumstantial, and cultural contexts. The book aims to gain a differentiated understanding of the European traditions regarding forgiveness, revenge, and moral repair that have shaped our moral intuitions today whilst also examining examples from other cultural contexts (Asia and Africa, in particular) to explore how different cultural traditions deal with the need for moral repair after wrongdoing.

Book Description
In a world where religion refuses to expire, two responses predominate. The first, to retrench within the certainties of one's native or adopted faith, questioning nothing; the second, to sneer and snarl from the secular side-lines. Here, Stephen Cherry offers a third alternative for religious believer, agnostic, and atheist alike - to engage with the study of theology. Confessing himself to be a reluctant theologian, Cherry puts forward three positive reasons why more people should take theology seriously - because it's fascinating, fun and important. He suggests that genuine theology is the antidote to fundamentalism, contrasts the theological approaches of Jesus of Nazareth and Richard Dawkins, introduces some of the biggest puzzles unravelled by theology, and reviews the history of the subject in fewer than 20 tweets. Drawing people at all stages of life into a more serious engagement with the riches, delights and fun of theology, it is a book for any who find themselves to be a little God-curious.
