While the volume on contritio reflected on notions of guilt, shame, and remorse, the anthology on confessio examines the act of confession: the contributors discuss the basic conditions and potentials and analyze particular examples – such as the churches’s confessions of guilt after the Shoah, guilt discussions in post-apartheid in South Africa, as well as in the context of reconciliation efforts in post-genocide Rwanda. The complexity of this topic is manifested by the interdisciplinary approaches that range from theological, philosophical and media studies perspectives.
