COMMUNITY LENTEN BIBLE STUDY
“Forgiveness is the healing stream flowing out from the crucified Christ over a world that does not know how desperately it needs the healing.”
FORGIVENESS, A Lenten Study by Marjorie J. Thompson
(Westminster John Knox Press: Louisville, KY, 2014)
Join the congregations of Woodbury for a five-week study and table fellowship.
Forgiving others and humbly asking for forgiveness are central disciplines for all Christian believers. Lent is an appropriate time to deepen our understanding and practice of forgiveness. In six brief chapters, Marjorie J. Thompson addresses such questions as the following:
- Is forgiveness a Christian duty under all circumstances? Or are there situations where Christians do no need to forgive?
- Is forgiveness a matter between individuals, or is it meaningful only in the context of communities?
- Is forgiving the best route to healing for the injured?
- How do we get past emotional barriers to real forgiveness?
With clarity, insight, and sensitivity, this book is the perfect resource for examining both our ability to forgive and our own need for forgiveness.
