Forgiveness and Forbearance: A 4-Session Adult Study
2015, 32 pp
The topics of forgiveness and forbearance are complicated and multi-layered - inter-twined with experiences, memories, upbringing, tradition and Scripture.
On the one hand, I have narrowed the topic, to person-to-person forgiveness, and simply assume God’s forgiveness. We will not do much with that, but neither will we exclude it or ignore it.
On the other hand I have expanded the topic to include forbearance; separating this lesser known term and giving it considerable attention. It gets attention in Scripture, but for many of us, forbearance does not rank as a critical issue. The term is used rarely but what it’s about pops up repeatedly. We will work at untangling forgiveness and forbearance in session three.
Topic of forgiveness is more complicated also because it used to be the privileged domain of church and theology, has become part of research and study in the field of mental health, social psychology and education.
It has become part of life and relationships in a broader sense. We can learn from these approaches; they enrich our understanding and practice of forgiveness.
