Forgiveness in Perspective

Forgiveness in Perspective is a creditable interdisciplinary effort — bringing together philosophers, psychologists, prison chaplains, and literary theorists on a single concept is harder than it looks, and the volume earns its PhilPapers indexing. But it is an academic edited collection, which means uneven essay quality and a narrow specialist audience. For someone building a reading list on the philosophy of forgiveness, it is a useful secondary source; for general readers, it is too dense.
