      abstract = {The meaning of "forgiveness" and its role within  restorative justice are highly contested. This book offers  analysis from practical and academic perspectives within  Christian theology, against a rich canvas of related  concepts, including victimhood, sin, love, and  vulnerability. Critical friends of restorative justice, the  authors argue that forgiveness whether as journey or act,  unilateral or mutual, conditional or unconditional is  necessary to achieving a fully restorative resolution to  acts of harm. They also suggest that Christianity, with its  meaning-giving metanarrative of restoration, and preference  for communitarian approaches to justice, may have epistemic  value for evaluating and even deepening the theory and  practice of restorative justice},
