About this product
Product Information
How should we respond to injuries done to us and to the hurts that we inflict on others? In this thoughtful book, Wounds Not Healed By Time, Solomon Schimmel guides us through the meanings of justice, forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation. In doing so, he probes to the core of the human encounter with evil, drawing on religious traditions, psychology, philosophy, and the personal experiences of both perpetrators and of victims. Christianity, Judaism and Islam call for forgiveness and repentance in our relations with others. Yet, as Schimmel points out, there are significant differences between them as to when and whom to forgive. Is forgiving always more moral than refusing to forgive? Is it ever immoral to forgive? When is repentance a pre-condition for forgiveness, and what does repentance entail? Schimmel explores these questions in diverse contexts, ranging from conflicts in a marriage and personal slights we experience every day to enormous crimes such as the Holocaust. He applies insights on forgiveness and repentance to the Middle East, post-apartheid South Africa, inter-religious relationships, and the criminal justice system. In Wounds Not Healed By Time, Schimmel also provides practical strategies to help us forgive and repent, preparing the way for healing and reconciliation between individuals and groups. "It is my belief," Schimmel concludes, "that the best balm for the resentment, rage, guilt, and shame engendered by human evil lies in finding the proper balance between justice, repentance, and forgiveness."

Reviews
"The author maintains that 'therapists, clergy, and pastoral counselorsneed to familiarize themselves with the philosophical, theological, andpsychological literature on forgiveness if they intend to incorporate it intotheir practices constructively.' For professional and layman alike, thisthoughtful and accessible volume is a good place to start."--First Things, "A tough, intellectually cogent analysis of repentance and forgiveness--issues that are generally relegated to sermonizing. This is not a sermon. It is a powerful and readable work of scholarship, imbued with the passion of a scholar who understands both evil and forgiveness and the difficultrelationship between them."--Alan Dershowitz, author of Shouting Fire: Civil Liberties in a Turbulent Age, "Solomon Schimmel brings the Jewish and the Christian teachings about forgiveness and repentance together with the findings of modern psychology in a way that illuminates all three sources of insight. By refusing to sever forgiveness from justice and repentance, Schimmel provides a much-neededcorrective to the soft-headed, sentimental thinking that usually pervades the discussion."--Jon D. Levenson, Albert A. List Professor of Jewish Studies, Harvard University, and author of The Death and Resurrection of the Beloved Son, "A thorough and thoughtful book on a subject that could not be moreimportant in the years ahead."--Jerusalem Post, "Schimmel brings a high level of scholarship, a deeply personal tone and an accessible writing style to complex questions of repentance and forgiveness.... Most admirably, Schimmel adds his own voice in a way that seems to come less from books than from the heart."--Publishers Weekly, "A nuanced and intellectually rich treatment of repentance and forgiveness.... Wounds Not Healed by Time is a remarkable exposition of the ways we deal--or might deal--with wrongs we commit against each other."--Avodah Newsletter, "The author maintains that 'therapists, clergy, and pastoral counselors need to familiarize themselves with the philosophical, theological, and psychological literature on forgiveness if they intend to incorporate it into their practices constructively.'

Wounds Not Healed by Time is a remarkable exposition of the wayswe deal--or might deal--with wrongs we commit against each other."--AvodahNewsletter, "From Jerusalem to the Vatican to Capetown, Schimmel takes us on a scholarly journey through humanity's struggle to understand and cope with evil. He argues, with both passion and insight, that our only hope for a sane future lies in overcoming our natural tendencies toward vengeance andreplacing them with a balance of justice, forgiveness, and repentance. Fortunately for the human race, we can, Schimmel insists, learn to forgive. Let's hope he's right."--Robert Epstein, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, Psychology Today, and University Research Professor, California School of ProfessionalPsychology at Alliant International University, "A tough, intellectually cogent analysis of repentance andforgiveness--issues that are generally relegated to sermonizing. This is not asermon. It is a powerful and readable work of scholarship, imbued with thepassion of a scholar who understands both evil and forgiveness and the difficultrelationship between them."--Alan Dershowitz, author of Shouting Fire: CivilLiberties in a Turbulent Age, "In this honest, eloquent book, Solomon Schimmel invites us to view the relation of forgiveness and repentance through multiple religious, secular, personal and social lenses. Christian readers, in particular, should ponder carefully his strong argument that forgiveness without repentance ismorally unsupportable."--Donald W. Shriver, President Emeritus, Union Theological Seminary, and author of An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics, "Deftly elucidates topics of revenge, justice, why and when to forgive, how to forgive, repentance, and reconciliation. He deals sensitively with these issues at the personal level and also includes institutional or national perspectives through an examination of America's race relations, theVatican's recent apologies, Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, and the South African experience with its Truth and Reconciliation Commission.... He criticizes the pressure in our culture to forgive too quickly and provides a respectful questioning of that pressure's Christian roots. This can serve as aself-help book for sophisticated readers or as a starting point for philosophical consideration of the topic."--Library Journal, "Drawing on a rich array of sources and writing with one eye on theologyand one on more contemporary psychological attitudes, Schimmel's work will gofar towards deepening our understanding of the contradictory, ambivalent,difficult, yet ultimately redeeming processes of forgiveness. This remains aknowledge that we, unfortunately, will have to draw on for many years tocome."--Adam B.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
