| Description: |
Although a prominent concept in a variety of religions, the perceived role of repentance in modern society is vague and inconsistent. This book questions the legitimacy of repentance as a religious concept today, and explores the ways in which its origins might facilitate civic usage of the idea. |
| Synopsis: |
Drawing from a variety of religious and civic perspectives, the renowned contributors to this book-from the fields of theology, philosophy, and the social sciences-offer a broad understanding of repentance and its many applications. The essays question the legitimacy of repentance as a religious concept for the civic culture, exploring the way in which the religious origins of repentance might both illuminate and facilitate our civic usage of the idea. |
