Inventing New Virtues: The Medical Model of Sin

Product Description
Dr. Vincent P. Cookingham’s Inventing New Virtues: The Medical Model of Sin stands as a scholarly and persuasive analysis of the moral compass now guiding our lives, a compass transitioning us away from old virtues and toward a culture of new virtues (and sins) that redefine who we are: a society abandoning those Judeo-Christian ethics that once dictated, and brought value to, our lives. Dr. Cookingham writes that modernists have changed our view of original sin, which has led to laws, virtues, religions, attitudes, and therapies that now undermine the morality and spirituality of our society. An ordained Permanent Deacon in the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, the author explains how the fusion of theological and sociological disciplines impacts the corporeal and spiritual components of man, as well as our moral order. Drawing from personal experiences, Cookingham discusses political science, faith, and social commentary, and the misdirection in which our culture is now moving.
