A module from the Durham University MA in Theology and Ministry

11-13 April & 4-6 July 2013 at St John’s College, Durham.

You are welcome to join this module without signing up to the full MA.

The module offers participants high quality validated teaching and enables them to examine the current research on forgiveness and consider the implications for a Christian understanding of forgiveness. It traces the development of Christian thinking about forgiveness from the period of the New Testament onwards and explores how we might develop appropriate, wise and imaginative applications of the principles of forgiveness to pastoral situations in ministry today.
