Forgiveness and Abuse
16 February 2026
Eds. Marie Fortune & Joretta Marshall
Explores how Jewish and Christian traditions handle forgiveness in the context of sexual and domestic abuse, including clergy abuse. Resists "forgive and forget" rhetoric as pastorally dangerous, treating forgiveness as context-dependent.
