The Art of the Public Grovel: Sexual Sin and Public Confession in America Hardcover - 2008
by Susan Wise Bauer
In this fascinating and important history of public confession in modern America, Bauer explains why and how a type of confession that first arose among 19th-century evangelicals has today become the required form for any successful public admission of wrongdoing.
From the rear cover
"Interesting, well-written, and well-researched, this book should have wide appeal. Who doesn't want to read about sex and confession and how the mighty fall and, in some cases, get up again?"--Stephen Prothero, author of Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know--and Doesn't
"This very fine book will enrich and deepen the conversation about religion and public life in America. Bauer writes clearly and vividly and she balances good storytelling with sound scholarship."--Alan Jacobs, author of Original Sin: A Cultural History
