This is a theological reflection on churches repenting of events
and convictions they have held in the past. Churches have been
repenting, apologizing, and asking forgiveness for beliefs and
practices they once justified. These often high-profile statements
raise questions such as: Can a church repent for things that
happened centuries ago? Is it possible for a church to sin or to be
forgiven? What difference will repenting make? Is this just more
church hypocrisy? In this book Jeremy Bergen tells the story of
ecclesial repentance in recent decades and explores the theological
issues its raises. He argues that because it is grounded in the
doctrines of Christ and the Holy Spirit, ecclesial repentance
requires the church to articulate in new ways its own nature and
mission.
