It is difficult to find a book on the seven deadly sins, so we are happy to bring this one back into print for the edification of Christians. THERE are certain vices in our fallen nature which betray us into so much badness, and are such fruitful causes of sin for us, that they may be called sources of our sins. Just as the little spring deep down in the ground, sending up the gallons and gallons of water which fill the well, -just as that little spring is the source of the well, so these vices buried deep down in human nature, are sources of many sins. The chief of these vices, "the chief sources of sin, are seven: Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth; and they are commonly called capital sins" (Baltimore Catechism), much as the source of a man's income is called his capital, or the source and centre of a nation's life and government its capital city. "Capital" has reference to the head, the beginning, the fountain of anything; and thus these seven are capital sins, not that they are always worse than other sins, nor even that they are always mortal sins, but because they are the chief sources and fountains deep down in human nature from which spring up a vast multitude of human iniquities.

According to Hebrews, the Son of God appeared to "break the power of him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." What does it mean to be enslaved, all our lives, to the fear of death? And why is this fear described as "the power of the devil"? And most importantly, how are we--as individuals and as faith communities--to be set free from this slavery to death?In another creative interdisciplinary fusion, Richard Beck blends Eastern Orthodox perspectives, biblical text, existential psychology, and contemporary theology to describe our slavery to the fear of death, a slavery rooted in the basic anxieties of self-preservation and the neurotic anxieties at the root of our self-esteem. Driven by anxiety--enslaved to the fear of death--we are revealed to be morally and spiritually vulnerable as "the sting of death is sin." Beck argues that in the face of this predicament, resurrection is experienced as liberation from the slavery of death in the martyrological, eccentric, cruciform, and communal capacity to overcome fear in living fully and sacrificially for others.
