Which books deal with the issue of a guilty conscience and personal moral failings?

I'm aware of The Bible, Crime and Punishment, but would like to learn about others.

>>18103307
Genealogy of Morals but most of Nietzsche's work covers this
Being and Time (specifically the part on the call of the conscience against the fallenness to the world of inauthentic Dasein)
Confessions of Augustine
Most of Kierkegaard's stuff
Ibn Arabi (start with the Journey to the Lord of Power)
Maybe something like Lacan/Freud for psycho-analytic perspectives
Maybe Foucault/Deleuze/Bataille as well since they build on Nietzsche a lot and bad conscience/guilt is a big topic for them.
