There is no consensus about what someone who has violated society's
rules must do in order to be fully restored to the community.
Although repentance is a prominent idea in religions ranging from
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to Buddhism and Hinduism, its use
in civic culture is vague and inconsistent. For example, is remorse
the same as repentance? 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. Excellent for theologians, philosophers,
moral ethicists, and anyone asking, ' Who deserves a second
chance?'
