Forgiveness After Trauma: A Path to Find Healing and Empowerment

As a Christian minister, biblical scholar, and survivor of abuse, Susannah Griffith has spent a lot of time thinking about forgiveness. In Forgiveness After Trauma, she explores what the Bible says—and doesn't say—about the biblical call to forgive.

Griffith advocates for "trauma-informed forgiveness," which takes seriously God's forgiveness of sinners while centering survivors of abase and aiding their healing. This view also empowers those who have been harmed by abuses of power and justice in religious institutions.
