"A refreshingly real and biblically sound look at a thorny topic that's too often misunderstood, mis-applied, or taken too lightly. This is the kind of book you'll want to reach for again and again as you mull over the nuanced and multi-layered topic and grow your understanding of 'forgiving like God.'" - Kristine K. Lowder, Pages & Paws Forgiveness sits at the heart of the Gospel, yet it raises complex theological questions. What does it mean for God to "forget" our sins? Should forgiveness be unconditional? What if there's no repentance? To gain Biblical clarity on these issues, author David Wyatt turns to an unconventional source - a dialogue with "Frank", an AI assistant programmed as a Christian theology expert.What unfolds is a thought-provoking, accessible conversation that dives deep into divine and human forgiveness. They explore what Scripture says about God's forgiveness of mankind and how we are to forgive each other in light of God's example. The dialogue format succeeds in drawing out nuances that a treatise might miss.Touching on essential concepts like the conditionality of forgiveness, the link between forgiveness and reconciliation, and imitating God's pattern of forgiveness, Frank and David bring sound Biblical exegesis to bear on practical questions. This is highly applicable theology, not just academic theorizing.While an AI assistant like Frank will never replace the Holy Spirit's guidance, it can serve as a unique tool for scriptural insight. If you've grappled with the complexities of forgiveness, this enlightening dialogue will expand your understanding and give actionable direction grounded in God's Word. Forgiving Like God: A Conversation with Frank, an AI Persona is the first book in David Wyatt's Conversations with Frank series.
