Download or read book Sin written by Hugh Connolly and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connolly investigates the realities of sin through reflection on different biblical and literary texts. Writers as varied as Sophocles, Graham Greene, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Irvine Welsh help illuminate different models of sin. Physical evil, law and morality, alienation and existence, power and money, spiritual love and failure are some of the ever-compelling themes that are scrutinized. In Dostoevsky's novels, sin is the rejection of life and love and a refusal to commit oneself to destiny. This book rediscovers a truly relational understanding of sin and moves toward a more adult conception of the mystery of sin and forgiveness.

Download or read book Sin written by Gary A. Anderson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is sin? Is it simply wrongdoing? Why do its effects linger over time? In this sensitive, imaginative, and original work, Gary Anderson shows how changing conceptions of sin and forgiveness lay at the very heart of the biblical tradition. Spanning nearly two thousand years, the book brilliantly demonstrates how sin, once conceived of as a physical burden, becomes, over time, eclipsed by economic metaphors. Transformed from a weight that an individual carried, sin becomes a debt that must be repaid in order to be redeemed in God's eyes. Anderson shows how this ancient Jewish revolution in thought shaped the way the Christian church understood the death and resurrection of Jesus and eventually led to the development of various penitential disciplines, deeds of charity, and even papal indulgences. In so doing it reveals how these changing notions of sin provided a spur for the Protestant Reformation. Broad in scope while still exceptionally attentive to detail, this ambitious and profound book unveils one of the most seismic shifts that occurred in religious belief and practice, deepening our understanding of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sin. Many Christians today have lost the ability to talk about it in personal terms. For the last quarter century the theological establishment, like society, has consigned the human predicament to structures of political and economic oppression or to systemic evil such as race and gender discrimination. In the process, people have lost interest in the internal workings of the human soul, attributing the evils of our world to social forces beyond the scope of personal responsibility.

Download or read book Sin in the Sixties written by Maria C. Morrow and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confession reached its peak attendance in the early 1950s, but by the end of the Second Vatican Council, the popularity of the sacrament plummeted. While this decline is often noted by historians, theologians, priests, and laity alike - all eager to provide possible explanations - little attention has been paid to another dramatic shift. Coincident with the decreasing popularity of the sacrament of penance in the United States were changes to non-sacramental penitential practices, including Lenten fasting, Ember Days, and the year-round Friday meat abstinence. American Catholics - sometimes derisively called Fisheaters - had assiduously observed Friday abstinence, regardless of ethnicity or geographic location.
Download or read book The Sin That Was His written by Frank L. Packard and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sin That Was His is a lovely story of a group of career criminals. The story follows their slow redemption at the hands of a Christ-like healer that they had planned to exploit. A cynical Yukon gambler known as Three-Ace Artie has nothing but hate for religion. Ironically, he had to pose as a priest in a small Canadian village through a bizarre set of events. It was the only way to avoid arrest for a crime Artie didn't commit. He planned to throw off the disguise as soon as he could make a safe escape. But naturally, both legal and romantic complications set in, and Artie must choose whether self-preservation will continue to be his top priority. It is a delightful story with intriguing characters and a subtle theme of redemption and righteousness running in the background.
