The Art of the Public Grovel: Sexual Sin and Public Confession in America
Susan Wise Bauer
Presents the history of public confession in modern America. This book explains why and how a type of confession that first arose among nineteenth-century evangelicals has become the required form for any successful public admission of wrongdoing - even when the wrongdoer has no connection with evangelicalism and the context is thoroughly secular.
