Webbing Vicissitudes of Forgiveness
Author:
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014.
With a webbing approach, this book twists and turns, weaves and sows, responds and inspires, toward conveying a collection of truly dialogic, inter-disciplinary, eclectic, and global conversations about forgiveness. Over sixteen chapters, much fascinating scholarship is presented but does not exhaust what might be theorised and empirically evidenced about forgiveness. Indeed, one of the most exciting aspects of this book is how it simultaneously supplies a plethora of answers, poses numerous new questions, calls out for more discussion and debate, and casts numerous threads toward bridging further conversation. Forgiveness themes underscore chapters on mythology, literature, popular media, philosophy, political science, psychology, psychiatry, photography, theology, and anthropology.
