Disrupting Mercy: The gift of extreme kindness motivated by compassion

By Matthew C. Clarke

The transformative potential of mercy

What might mercy look like if, rather than being a naive approach to letting people off the hook, it radically infused our approach to justice? What if mercy was not merely kindness, nor a display of power by a superior to a needy inferior, but something disruptive and transformative?

Filled with biblical analysis, personal stories, and applications to the author's work in human trafficking research, this book both disrupts the normal ideas about mercy and proposes a new conception that is itself radically disruptive. Part of that disruption to transactional thinking is scandalous commitment to mercy being free and unconditional.
