No, no–this is no Facebook-type “Which Apostle Does Your Forgiveness Style Most Resemble?” quiz (wait–that’s actually not a bad idea for a future post). Chris Brauns, author of Unpacking Forgiveness, poses eight questions on forgiveness that are disarmingly simple and yet surprisingly challenging to answer.
The best part is, once you complete the quiz he offers Scriptural insights on each answer–which, in my case, made getting most of the questions wrong a lot more fun and instructive than I experienced with my Harvard online stats class for my doc study this summer.
Click here for the quiz. And then later on this week we’ll look at Brauns’ fascinating argument for the blessed conditionality of forgiveness.
(And, by the way, I forgive like James the Younger. You? Let me know in the comment box below.)

I am enjoying reading your blog since hearing you speak in St. Louis recently. I am especially soaking in all you are posting on forgiveness. The link to the quiz doesn’t seem to be working. Suggestions?
Sorry for the earlier error–link should be working just fine now!
