Repentance by Jacob Neusner
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.
This is an engaging and provocative book which successfully provides the cultural and religious resources for a revived practice of repentance in contemporary civic societyRepentance is a wake-up call to revive the public practices of repentance, restitution, and reconciliation in order to heal many of the deep problems within our body politic. -- Mark I. Wallace, Swarthmore College
