The Seven Deadly Sins

In this fascinating new book, experienced author and theologian Graham Tomlin explains the historical background of what have been labeled the seven deadly sins—pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth—before looking at each one in detail. He shows how, though the concept of seven deadly sins originated in medieval England, each remains an alluring and potentially devastating concern throughout contemporary culture. Written in a thoughtful and measured style, this is an engaging read for all interested in philosophy and theology and for those seeking ways to live a more positive life.
