Reconciliation.

Brookes, Derek
June 4, 2015

Source: Washington: Prison Fellowship International.

Brookes contends that Christians are called by God to forgive, and to forgive in order to be reconciled to the person who is forgiven. He explores this by discussing a number of theological and relational themes and realities: the Incarnation; love as action; love in relation to peacemaking; confrontation and anger; credibility in forgiveness; remembering; reconciliation in relation to sacrifice; the Resurrection; and Pentecost.
