How excellent it therefore is to have this study of key passages in the Old Testament that talk about God's forgiveness and about people forgiving each other (without oversimplifying what the Old Testament does have to say).”
—John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary
“Despite its theological import, the concept of forgiveness has often been neglected in academic writing. This well-rounded and tightly edited volume rectifies this omission and sheds new and significant light on the topic. I can highly recommend it.”
—Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Örebro School of Theology

“This volume, with its host of insightful contributors, initiates an overdue discussion of an issue crucial for our contemporary world. In doing so, it participates in work which bolsters the case for clear continuity between the Christian Testaments. For these reasons, among others, it is a worthwhile read.”
