The One and the Many
Martin E. Marty
A world-renowned authority on religion and ethics in America, Martin Marty here gives a judicious account of how the body politic has been torn between the imperative of one people, one voice, and the separate urgings of distinct identities--racial, ethnic, religious, gendered, ideological, economic.

Seven Deadly Sins
Aviad Kleinberg
Translated by Susan Emanuel
With intellectual insight and deadpan humor, Kleinberg deftly guides the reader through Jewish, Christian, and Greco-Roman thoughts on sin. Each chapter weaves the past into the present and examines unchanging human passions and the deep cultural shifts in the way we make sense of them.
