Forgiveness and Reconciliation - The otherness of grace in René Girard and David Konstan

Based on a debate between René Girard and David Konstan, this book analyses the origin of forgiveness. The debate is justified because biblical hermeneutics and moral philosophy attribute elements of human behaviour to forgiveness. Forgiving and asking for forgiveness are understood as acts of recognising oneself from the other. Forgiveness thus reveals itself in a nexus of otherness whose foundation is the common good.
