“…Vengeance is not Justice” December 10, 2022
After building a megachurch in Manhattan, Presbyterian Timothy Keller has no trouble engaging secular and skeptical audiences.  Keller insists that our culture is failing to value a key skill and essential building block of relationships: the ability to forgive.  It's the subject of his new book, "Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I?” in which he approaches forgiveness from a Christian perspective with lessons for a broader audience. In it, he writes, "...we should forgive because it is profoundly practical. To fail to forgive is to undermine the health and coherence of one’s body, one’s relationships, and the entire human community."
