What are the main theological stances on the doctrine of forgiveness vs Reconciliation?
I think at the far far extreme (or perhaps the most biblical definition is):
* we should forgive others as God forgave us
* God forgives us for our sins, not bringing them into account
* God treats us with the imputed righteousness of Christ
* therefore, we should not bring others sins into account and treat them with the righteousness of Christ.
I'm interested in an overview of other theological stances on forgiveness / reconciliation (I suspect there's a spectrum).
The ideal answer would be something that present an ordered list, where each item has a name along with a description of how forgiveness / reconciliation is viewed within that stance.
Thanks!
