Despite what Jeff and Danny tell you in their opening comments, this is actually just episode 6. Here, they discuss what Lewis describes as being in contention (along with chastity) for the least popular of all the Christian virtues, forgiveness: the biblical call for us to love and forgive our "enemies"; how our ideas about grace sometimes bump up against the notion that the way we forgive others will affect the way we will be forgiven by God; an acknowledgement that while forgiving is hard, it's learned behavior; some steps we can take to learn it; some misconceptions about the idea of "loving others as we love ourselves"; how our ideas of vengeance and justice and forgiveness need to be shaped by the realization that each of us is fundamentally unlovable.
