Description

Unlike other Protestants, Lutherans chose not to abolish private confession but to change it to suit their theological convictions and social needs. Here, Rittgers traces the development of Lutheran private confession, demonstrating how it consistently balanced competing concerns for spiritual freedom and moral discipline.
