Abstract
I have retold the story of Ian in Saint Maybe both because of its explorations of the problems of forgiveness and for its glimpses of the possibilities of a more adequate account. The novel depicts quite powerfully the dangers of fragmentary conceptions of forgiveness—and, more specifically, it exposes the ways in which diverse Christian traditions have tended to distort the overall significance of forgiveness.
