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!
