"One of the most gifted and influential Chrisfian 
writers England hasproduces this century," 

Charles Williams, who died in 1945 at the age of fifty-nine, 
was a man of genius in several kinds of writing. His work 
included poetry, literary criticism, novels, and several 
theological works. His literary friends included the famous 
"Inklings"— C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dorothy 
Sayers, and others— with whom he shared his writing in 
its early stages. 

While Williams is best known for his seven novels, which 
have been described as "supernatural thrillers," his 
theological writings, including The Forgiveness of Sins, 
have received critical acclaim as well. In this book, first 
published in 1942, Williams examines how forgiveness is 
presented in Shakespeare, how it appears in the theology of the Christian Church, and finally, how it operates, or should operate, among people. Long unavailable to American audiences, the book is now in short supply to today's readers for the theological insights of this unusual and gifted writer.
