Sin Death and the Devil

Sin death and the devil called the unholy trinity by Martin Luther are the classic biblical tyrants portrayed in Scripture as the enemies of God and the oppressors of humanity. This engaging book which takes its cue from John Paul IIs description of Western society as a culture of death unveils the many faces of sin death and the devil manifest in todays world. Eight recognized Christian thinkers show that while the forms taken by these diabolical forces may have changed under the conditions of modern life the underlying realities remain the same. Thus politics can become demonic power can promote death and sin can be disguised as virtue. Far from being pessimistic however the authors affirm Gods victory over these enslaving powers through the proclamation of the gospel and the sacraments of the church.. Contributors: Gary A.
