Course Description

This course will trace the evolution of the practice and understanding of mutual forgiveness among Christians and its relationship to the formal practice of exclusion, repentance, and reconciliation managed by the leaders of church congregations. We will consider the foundations of the practice in the Gospels and the crises that required its development. The presentations will focus on the North African church, where the evidence is most abundant in the second through fifth centuries. The analysis will attend, in particular, to the interpretation and application of Matthew 6:12, Matthew 18:15-20, and John 20:22-23. Watch video
