Repentance and the Right to Forgiveness

Lexington Books (2018)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This book develops a rights-based theory of justice that maintains that genuine repentance creates a right to be forgiven. Examining the nature of rights and theological conceptions of forgiveness, the author shows why such a right is nonrepugnant and produces the most just state of affairs for victims and wrongdoers.
