In this 53rd episode, Dr. Knabb explores the powerful topic of forgiveness, doing so from both secular psychological and Christian perspectives. In particular, he explores forgiveness as a psychological variable for measurement and intervention, then pivots toward a biblical understanding of the topic. To conclude, he offers a meditative practice, anchored to Puritan spirituality, to help Christians remember Jesus' act of forgiveness on the cross and, in turn, forgive others on an ongoing basis.
