The Biblical Revelation Of Forgiveness

This 126th issue of Founders Journal (Summer 2023) considers the doctrine of forgiveness from a number of biblical standpoints. The articles are relatively short. Each gives a pungent exposition of a single idea or application contained in the biblical revelation of forgiveness. These writers serve as pastors and teachers in church and in educational institutions. As editor, I express a deep and sincere gratitude for their willingness to write and a word of praise to God for the grace that has taught them to look at biblical, gospel forgiveness with such humble receptivity and spiritual consideration. Thanks, therefore, to Tom Ascol, Craig Biehl, Mark Coppenger, Jeff Johnson, Reagan Marsh,  Eric Smith, Charles Spurgeon, Paul Taylor, Tom Winn, and Fred Zaspel. Mack Tomlinson provided one of the Spurgeon contributions. Each of these has proved to be a gospel friend (Yes, I consider Spurgeon as a friend for his work has so blessed and encouraged us all) and all are faithful teachers and practitioners of gospel truth prompted by the grace of forgiveness. May the Lord bless each reader with soul-stirring worship and gratitude that in Christ we have “redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
