From religion to politics and from the bedroom to the boardroom, this study provides a more complete understanding of the history of sin that will assist the modern reader in a wide variety of fields. "A lovely, thoughtful, study on a fascinating topic that will be a research tool and interesting read to a vast array of people. Highly recommend!" Tama Janowitz, author of Slaves of New York "An extraordinary accomplishment, Salomon's Why Sin Still Matters impressively offers a very modern look at a much venerated set of traditional concepts, all the while combining the pleasures of reading the late Mortimer Adler's Syntopicon, with a personal insights of a modern self-help book. Highly recommended."
