The theological insights of ‘The Death of the Deadly Sins’ offer practical wisdom for cultivating a life of virtue.
—
Few doctrines are more obvious, or more personally experienced, than the reality of sin. As Reinhold Niebuhr quipped, “The doctrine of original sin is the only empirically verifiable doctrine of the Christian faith.” We don’t need to be taught how to sin. It comes naturally. Instead, we need a vision for virtuous living, shaped by Scripture and empowered by grace.
In The Death of the Deadly Sins: Embracing the Virtues That Transform Lives, a team of authors, including Michael and Melissa Kruger, Dustin Messer, and Jen Pollock Michel, collaborated to encourage Christian virtue. They show how we can kill the seven deadly sins by pursuing the opposing virtues.
