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 2,000 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.

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.

Understanding the biblical definition of sin is a necessity for correct doctrine. It is more than a semantic discussion over terminology. It goes to the heart of Christian life and experience and affects every theological position. The core of Wesleyan theology is the understanding that God delivers from all sin, both in practice and in heart. Scripture is very clear that, at the judgment, God will either condemn one to hell or allow one into heaven based upon the sinlessness of his life. The issue of dealing with sin has divided evangelical Christianity into Calvinistic and Wesleyan camps.

America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and the enslavement of another.

Fifty years ago, Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo.

In Knowing Sin, Mark Jones puts his expertise in the Puritans to work by distilling the vast wisdom of our Christian forebears into a single volume that summarizes their thought on this vital subject.
