Remorse

Theology

“Anthony Bash’s latest work on Remorse provides a stunning illumination of the biblical, historic, and contemporary interplay between remorse, regret, and repentance. He makes an incisive contribution to our understanding of repentance and forgiveness as relating not only theologically ‘Godward,’ but—crucially—toward our neighbor. Bash is offering these insights both to an international audience within the academy, and also as an encouragement to the Christian church to engage in a discourse from which it has been largely absent. He makes a powerful plea for the inclusion of interpersonal remorse—deep regret for past moral wrongdoing—within Christian theology and its liturgical expressions.”
