HOL 5540 - Love and Forgiveness

Students will be exposed to current research in the area of forgiveness and the impact it has on an individual’s personal well-being as well as social well-being. We will explore what contributes to the development of a grievance, what maintains it, and what gets in the way of being able to forgive it. We will look at examples of unforgivable grievances and the impact they have on individuals and society. And, we will examine methods of achieving forgiveness and the positive benefits this has.
