Forgiveness and politics are often assumed to be unrelated and un-relatable. This study not only argues that forgiveness and politics can be related, but also that they are intrinsically related. It also critiques standard approaches and proposals for relating forgiveness and politics while offering an alternative proposal for the relationship between forgiveness and politics. In making the case, the study revisits not only the biblical foundations of forgiveness, but also the concepts and practices of politics, justice, and reconciliation.
