Book Description:

Titillating, intriguing, and occasionally unsettling, In Defense of Sin will allow readers to judge for themselves if they should follow the Ten Commandments or if sin is now simply a thing of the past. Readers will hear from Jonathan Swift on murder; Oscar Wilde on deceit; Freud on breaking the golden rule, Seneca on suicide, and Joyce Carol Oates on despair. This collection takes sin on its own terms and dares to question how and why sins like promiscuity, lying, and lust might be defended.
