For centuries Christian people knew the names of the seven deadly sins and understood the importance of identifying and avoiding them in their daily lives. In The Devil's Diet, the authors explain the meaning and the danger of these seven categories of sin. Unlike many other books on the topic, this volume takes an additional step. These essays teach that the seven deadly sins prove deadly not only for individuals, but for society as a whole. This analysis of the Seven Deadly Sins looks beyond consequences to individuals and their personal salvation to the effect of the sins on the vitality of society. Civilization itself is at risk when pride, envy, sloth and the other four deadly sins become commonplace and are treated as harmless.
This book is a clarion call for individuals and churches to resurrect an understanding of the ancient list of sins, to recognize their importance and determine to help one another avoid them.
