About this listen

Should we always forgive? Is forgiveness always even possible? Does forgiveness enable evil? Does it sacrifice justice? Are there ANY limits? In a world where the ugliness of rage and retaliation are driving the story line, Unconditional? offers the beauty, reconciliation, and total restoration of forgiveness the way Jesus taught us to live it. More than just another biblical exposition, this audio book begins with the horror of the Holocaust as it explores what forgiveness means—and how far it should go—in the real world of murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, and other atrocities. With unusual honesty, compassion, and depth, Zahnd incorporates some of the most compelling and difficult thoughts on the subject from history’s writers, philosophers, and theologians—always returning to the example Jesus gave us with his life and his death.

A whole new worldview

This is the first of Zahnd's books I came across. Before this book, I'd thought faith was about believing certain things and seeking to try and obey the Bible. After this book I realised I'd missed something vital all my life - that being a Christian was actually about walking in the way of Jesus. That being disciple didn't mean adhering to certain beliefs, but radically following Jesus in his call to love our neighbour as ourselves and even love our enemies. I realised I'd need God's help to live like this whereas beforehand, I'd felt I had the Christian life down pretty well after decades in church leadership. To say this book turned my life upside down is an understatement. It's the moment I started to relearn what it meant to follow Jesus.
