Book Description
From the moment that Tsars as well as hierarchs realized that having their subjects go to confession could make them better citizens as well as better Christians, the sacrament of penance in the Russian empire became a political tool, a devotional exercise, a means of education, and a literary genre. It defined who was Orthodox, and who was 'other.' First encouraging Russian subjects to participate in confession to improve them and to integrate them into a reforming Church and State, authorities then turned to confession to integrate converts of other nationalities. But the sacrament was not only something that state and religious authorities sought to impose on an unwilling populace. Confession could provide an opportunity for carefully crafted complaint. What state and church authorities initially imagined as a way of controlling an unruly population could be used by the same population as a way of telling their own story, or simply getting time off to attend to their inner lives. Good for the Souls brings Russia into the rich scholarly and popular literature on confession, penance, discipline, and gender in the modern world, and in doing so opens a key window onto church, state, and society. It draws on state laws, Synodal decrees, archives, manuscript repositories, clerical guides, sermons, saints' lives, works of literature, and visual depictions of the sacrament in those books and on church iconostases. Russia, Ukraine, and Orthodox Christianity emerge both as part of the European, transatlantic religious continuum-and, in crucial ways, distinct from it.

Book Description
All of our hearts, whether we know it or not, long to know the deep joy of possessing and experiencing the permanent and passionate favor of God. However, all of our hearts also experience the twisted desires of sin and the foolish bent towards trying to deal with it in our own strength, which usually means somehow trying to cover it up so others--especially God--won't see. This two-step dance of struggling and covering leaves us exhausted and more hardened. Everyone who knows Christ knows about this tiring battle. However, the gospel is so extravagant that even a king like David who sinned and tried to hide it can find immeasurable and unexpected grace that restores spiritual vitality and makes one a wise counselor of mercy to the surrounding community. Everyone who knows Christ also has this hope and is invited to experience again the superabundant grace found in this remarkably rich section of the Psalms. This book invites you to step into a new gospel rhythm by exploring Saint Augustine's favorite psalm, Psalm 32. By exploring this psalm, you'll find the healing grace found in gospel brokenness.

Book Description
The Sacrament of Penance and Religious Life in Golden Age Spain explores the practice of sacramental confession in Spain between roughly 1500 and 1700. One of the most significant points of contact between the laity and ecclesiastical hierarchy, confession lay at the heart of attempts to bring religious reformation to bear upon the lives of early modern Spaniards. Rigid episcopal legislation, royal decrees, and a barrage of prescriptive literature lead many scholars to construct the sacrament fundamentally as an instrument of social control foisted upon powerless laypeople. Drawing upon a wide range of early printed and archival materials, this book considers confession as both a top-down and a bottom-up phenomenon. Rather than relying solely upon prescriptive and didactic literature, it considers evidence that describes how the people of early modern Spain experienced confession, offering a rich portrayal of a critical and remarkably popular component of early modern religiosity.
