Ancient Sins . . . Modern Addictions

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Resurrecting the seven deadly sins of antiquity as a cogent framework for analyzing life in our contemporary world reflects the task of Scott Sullender in this intriguing book. He correlates and integrates his theological, psychological, and spiritual convictions, utilizing the phenomenon of addiction as the common denominator that underlies and gives expression to the seven deadly sins in our age. This carefully researched and constructed volume will provide an important angle of vision for caregivers in our contemporary context.”

Anonymous Christians

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

Foreword

“The consequence of this carefully designed research project is to extrapolate from what was learned, to create a syllabus that takes into consideration the history, the scientific research done on addiction and recovery as well as the theological framework articulated from a Christian perspective. The author does an excellent job of defining his intent and purpose and providing data from his research to make a strong case for educating clergy who are on the front lines of this battle with one of the nation’s most devastating problems.”

Religion as Art Form

Philosophy

“Critical issues central to the purpose of religion are woven in an intricate tapestry that utilizes every conceivable strand of expressive art available to elucidate the topics addressed. The style of writing itself is reflective of an art form, as ideas flood each page in a stream of consciousness, expressive of the dynamic, progressive posture that permeates each page. Readers seeking an alternative approach for expressing and experiencing their spirituality will find this book scintillating and stimulating.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A meticulously crafted volume that addresses the complexities and subtleties of 'boundaries' for the people of God engaged in ministry. The theological perspective of the authors informs their analysis and proposed solutions to ensure that the integrity of the body of Christ remains intact as experienced in the daily interactions of the people of God.”
