Publisher's Summary

Sin, the newest contribution by Gregory Mellema, provides a short and lively summary of what contemporary philosophers are saying about the relationship between the traditional theological category of sin and contemporary philosophical ethics.

The topics covered include the doctrine of original sin, accessory sins, mortal (or cardinal) sins, and venial sins. Mellema also examines Islamic codes of ethics, which include a category of acts that are “discouraged,” some of which qualify as sins, and the final chapter surveys the teachings of six major world religions concerning sin. This concise introduction to sin and moral wrongdoing will have a wide readership, and is intended for use in introductory level philosophy, philosophy of religion, or theological ethics courses.

The book is published by University of Notre Dame Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
