Crime and Forgiveness
A provocative analysis of how Christianity helped legitimize the death penalty in early modern Europe, then throughout the Christian world, by turning execution into a great cathartic public ritual and the condemned into a Christ-like figure who accepts death to save humanity. The public execution of criminals has been a common practice ever since ancient times. In this wide-ranging investigation of the death penalty in Europe from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, noted Italian historian Adriano Prosperi identifies a crucial period when legal concepts of vengeance and justice merged with Christian beliefs in repentance and forgiveness. Crime and Forgiveness begins with late antiquity but comes into sharp focus in fourteenth-century Italy, with the work of the Confraternities of Mercy, which offered Christian comfort to the condemned and were for centuries responsible for burying the dead. Under the brotherhoods’ influence, the ritual of public execution became Christianized,

Forgiveness
The moment my wife left me, my world shattered into pieces. I begged her to give me another chance, but she filed for divorce anyway. In a desperate attempt to keep her in my life, I did the unthinkable. I blackmailed her. Now she's bound to me for six more months. I'll use this time to prove to her that I'm a changed man. That I'm worthy of another chance. But just when I think I'm close to winning her over, another man enters the picture.

After all the mistakes I made these past fifteen years, will I be able to prove our love is worth the fight, or will I lose her forever?
