Book Description
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND THE SEVEN HEAVENLY VIRTUES by JULIAN BOUND 'The Seven Sins and Virtues as viewed in religion, ancient mythology and in art and literature.' The Seven Deadly Sins and the antidotes of The Seven Heavenly Virtues have been depicted throughout history in forms of both Greek and Roman mythology and in the world of art and literature. Perceived as being associated within the doctrine of the Christian faith, the eastern religions of Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism all share a parallel view of the seven sins and virtues, yet are expressed in the theology of different precepts. Examining the similarities of each sin and virtue within religions of the world, and of the portrayal in mythology and art and literature, 'The Seven Deadly Sins and The Seven Heavenly Virtues' also invites the reader to identify which sin they are prone to and of what virtue best displays their greatest qualities; the result of which is an exploration of the self within the aspects of the seven sins and seven virtues, and so acting as a guide for each soul's unique individual path.

The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments
Author: Scott Weeman
Publisher: Ave Maria Press
ISBN: 1594717265
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
We value virtue but do not discuss it. The honest book-keeper, the faithful wife, the earnest scholar get little of our attention compared to the embezzler, the tramp, the cheat. - John Steinbeck The Seven Heavenly Virtues is a classic interpretation of seven basic concepts that will lead us to glory. In alphabetical order, (each of which conveniently corresponds to one of the Seven Deadly Sins), along with some examples demonstrating each. According to Christian theology, The Seven Heavenly Virtues are the stepping stones to the glorification of the soul. They are a combination of the three Theological Virtues and the four Cardinal Virtues. The purpose of the Seven Virtues is to guide you on the path of righteousness, and keep you away from sins. In fact, they tell the virtuous what he should do, as opposed to The Seven Deadly Sins that tell you what you should keep away from. This article provides an insight into The Seven Holy Virtues and their meanings. The description is accompanied by a Bible verse that high-lights the value of each one of these virtues.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Author: Stanford M. Lyman
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 1461644070
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
When Stanford M. Lyman authored The Seven Deadly Sins: Society and Evil in 1978 it was hailed by Alasdair MacIntyre as "a book of absorbing interest and importance...[that] places us all in his debt." By Nelson Hart as "a masterful and thought-provoking book...[that] is the only scholarly treatment of sin that is so well-informed by the best of ancient through modern perspectives." By James A. Aho as a work whose "abstract hardly does justice to the scholarly and detailed analysis of sin." And by Harry Cohen as a "book...[that] stands as a beautiful illustration of what holistic, idiosyncratic, interdisciplinary, and creative thinking and writing can bring to bear on the age-old problem of society and evil." The American Sociological Association's section on the Sociology of the Emotions selected this book as one of the works that laid the foundations for the study of pride, lust, envy, and anger—basic sentiments embedded in the social process. For this revised and expanded edition Lyman has written a new chapter, "Sentiments, Sin, and Social Conflict: Toward a Sociology of the Emotions." The new edition will be a valuable work for courses in social psychology, ethics, deviance, and the sociology of morals and of religion.
