Recenzii
This book will be accessible both to committed Christians and to others who are willing to examine their lives with resources from Christian thought ... It helps us understand the interconnectedness of human sinfulness
There is much to admire in this contemporary mapping out of traditional monastic teaching on the seven deadly sins
What distinguishes Cherry's work is that he takes a more nuanced approach to the sins, breaking down the traditional seven inherited from Evagrius, Aquinas and others, and interpreting them through the lenses of sociology, psychology, economics and philosophy as well as Scripture and theology ... While the outline of this book does make it useful for dipping into, there is a sustained argument that makes the whole worth more than the sum of its parts ... An excellent resource that's actually more suited to the pastoral task of helping people (starting with themselves) to follow Jesus more faithfully while all the time struggling to throw off the sin that so easily entangles.
