Inspired by scripture and oral tradition, each author presents a story on each of the seven virtues--faith, hope, charity, justice, temperance, fortitude, and prudence--and then offers a story on each of the seven deadly sins--pride, covetousness, lust, anger, sloth, and gluttony. Neusner turns to the Oral Torah; Greeley turns to the Gospels and offers his own homiletic reflections. Written for a broad audience, and featuring an intro by Greeley's sister, Dr. Mary Greeley Durkin.
