Summary:

Using resources from scripture, theology, and the social sciences, pastoral counselor David Augsburger explores the complicated issues of Christian forgiveness and reconciliation and their real-world applications.

Does reconciliation imply a return to the prior relationship or the creation of a new relationship?
