Forgiveness and reconciliation get a lot of press lately. Unfortunately, forgiveness

and reconciliation often remain 1) Misunderstood due to misguided popular

conceptions as to what forgiveness actually accomplishes; 2) Isolated from the

biblical framework of the reconciling work of God in Christ; 3) Confused with other

important ideas such as “loving one’s enemy” or “letting go of the offense.”

This seminar will help to clear obstacles to reconciliation first by critiquing popular,

yet inadequate, models of forgiveness. Second, it will define forgiveness within the

larger framework of the biblical teaching about Christian fellowship and

reconciliation. A practical visual model of the “cycle of reconciliation” will also help

participants intentionally to begin to move toward forgiveness and reconciliation.
