Is it right to encourage those who have been harmed to forgive? Dean of King's College, Cambridge, Stephen Cherry, argues that while forgiveness can be transformative, well-intentioned enthusiasm for forgiveness risks burdening the harmed with forgiveness-anxiety. Cherry calls out the dangers of making generalisations about forgiveness and shows that it can take a variety of forms. He makes a passionate case for prioritising the experience of the harmed and focusing on what perpetrators can do to become more forgivable. Unforgivable? is neither a philosophical analysis of forgiveness nor a 'how to forgive' manual. It is a profoundly thought-provoking exploration of the ethical, relational and spiritual possibilities for those who have been harmed.
