Eliot has observed that the work of Adrienne von Speyr embodies 'a new experience of Christian sensibility' to which 'there is nothing to do but to submit one-self.' In CONFESSION The Encounter with Christ in Penance this new experience is reflected by the non-technical treatment of the sacrament of penance by the opening up of its personal dimension and by its relation to the theology of the Trinity and the mission of Christ. Too often in traditional prayer-books and manuals of piety Confession has been defined in terms rooted in the vocabulary of law courts with the result that this sacrament is often understood as a kind of mechanical process entailing only the payment of fines and the making of amends.'
