    Peters (theology, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary) discusses sin from the perspective of its progressive development into radical evil through seven steps--anxiety, unfaith, pride, concupiscence, self-justification, cruelty, and blasphemy--suggestive of but not identical to the classic seven deadly sins. His presentation is distinguished by its contemporary considerations and his inclusion of the way individual sins may develop a life--or rather a death--of their own and become social evil. Peters is alert to self-righteous sins of projection and scapegoating as well as to their opposites. A wonderful book for committed lay readers and social critics as well as clergy. Highly recommended.
