520 |a Discussions of forgiveness within Christian theology have tended to focus on the conditions in which forgiveness may be a moral or divine imperative for believers. With regard to Søren Kierkegaard's theological ethics, this article explicates a radical perspective. For the Kierkegaardian Christian lover, no definitive relational break with the other (however objectionable) can occur. As Kierkegaard emphasizes in Works of Love, in a discourse which bears this sentiment as its title, "love abides." Indeed, I illustrate how in three consecutive discourses in Works of Love—"VI: Love Abideth," "VII: Mercy, a Work of Love," and "VIII: The Victory of the Reconciliation in Love"—Kierkegaard's ethical vision is grounded in Christian love's immutability. For Kierkegaard, if Christian love is present, then forgiveness is redundant, and unforgiveness is impossible.
