The Lived Experience of Forgiveness: Phenomenological and Psychological Perspectives remedies the absence of systematic research on the experience of forgiveness by bringing together the work of five psychologists, one philosopher, and one theologian. The contributors have researched various aspects of forgiveness through interviews and field work, allowing for a clarification of this topic and providing a basis for evaluating the often-contradictory assertions of the existing literature. Edited by Steen Halling, this volume demonstrates the value of careful study of human experience by examining forgiveness in its various manifestations within a phenomenological framework that strives to set aside and question presuppositions—whether they be religious, philosophical, or psychological—and look at phenomena with fresh eyes. This approach enables a more creative and productive dialogue among the disciplines of psychology, theology, and philosophy, with experience as a common reference point, and thereby leads to a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of forgiveness.

Reviews for The Lived Experience of Forgiveness: Phenomenological and Psychological Perspectives

This book is an important, timely, and unique contribution to the understanding of forgiveness. The authors of this collection follow a phenomenological approach to human science research, enabling them to disclose forgiveness as an existential phenomenon. It will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and a must read for any psychologist. -- Magnus Englander, Malmö University
