Sin, like death, is an unassailable fact of life. It is also one of the last great taboos for public debate. In this compelling book, the Henry Fairlie shows that it is possible and necessary to talk about sin in ways that enrich our societies and our personal lives. Fairlie discusses these ancient sins and relates them to some central social issues of life today, such as liberal vs. conservative politics, discrimination, pornography, abortion, the practice and implementation of modern science, and especially the pop-psychologies that confirm the narcissism of our age.
