Forgiveness & Reconciliation – Arendt · Luke 15 · Truth Commission | Ethics & Religious Studies (11-12)

A ready-to-teach 4-period high school unit (Grades 11–12). Can we begin again — and where does forgiveness reach its limit? Students explore reconciliation philosophically (Hannah Arendt: forgiveness as new beginning), biblically (the prodigal son, “seventy-seven times,” love of enemies), and politically (South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the US Civil Rights movement, Miroslav Volf).

With a jigsaw of four real reconciliation cases, a creative task, and a full answer key. Closes the arc of the series. Academically grounded — PDF and editable.
