| Σύνοψη: | Forgiveness and mercy are often thought of as acts that we perform or gifts that we bestow.

He argues that the tension that is often thought to exist between justice, on the one hand, and forgiveness and mercy, on the other, is lessened by focusing on the virtue of having a forgiving and merciful character. |
