Forgiveness without God

Increasingly, to forgive is seen as winking at evil, as shrugging one’s moral shoulders, and as being complicit.
1517 is a Christian non-profit (501(c)3) multi-media organization. Our mission is to declare and defend the Good News that we are forgiven and free on account of the death and resurrection of Jesus alone.
