In this issue of The Baptist Pietist Clarion, Wayne Roberts, Terri Hansen, Laura Gilbertson, and G.W. Carlson each contemplated the importance of forgiveness. (Hansen and GW also compiled a brief bibliography suggesting further reading on forgiveness.) That was also the theme of reprinted pieces from earlier writers in the Baptist Pietist tradition: John Alexis Edgren, Signe Olson Peterson, Karl Karlson, and Gordon Johnson.

In addition, Ron Saari drew on Galatians 5 to illustrate the importance of religious liberty and soul liberty for Baptists and other Christians, and Bethel Seminary church historian Chris Armstrong offered the first of his contributions on Pietism.
