Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Lessons for Transforming Evil in Soul and Society

Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Lessons for Transforming Evil in Soul and Society

by Matthew Fox (Author)

Synopsis

In this ambitious, profound, yet exciting book, Matthew Fox offers a theology that fundamentally changes the traditional perception of good and evil and points the way to a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another and all of nature. By drawing together the wisdom of East and West and using his formidable capacity to explain deftly the most complex ideas, Fox moves us into an examination of our world and our perceptions of it, and ourselves, that entertains as it challenges. 'Matthew Fox writes boldly and brilliantly about the seven cardinal sins of the spirit and the compassionate blessings of the flesh - it is a fine blend of his great intellectual prowess, creativity and love of humanity.' Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author of 'Women who Run with the Wolves' 'A scholarly masterpiece embodying a better vision and depth of perception far beyond the grasp of any one single science. A breath-taking analysis.' Diarmuid O Murchu, author of 'Reclaiming Spirituality' Other books by Matthew Fox One River, Many Wells.
