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.
