Book Synopsis
Despite its declining popularity among Christians, the staunch belief that we are all innately sinful retains a firm grip on Western consciousness and culture – even in the writings of avowed atheists such as Marx, Freud and Richard Dawkins.

Ambitious, thought-provoking … an easy read on an ignored but central and timely topic. * The Tablet *

Boyce leads us into new understandings of some of the central figures in Western culture... This is an exceptional, highly recommended work, innovative and creative in surprising ways. * Publisher's Weekly *
A brilliant and exhilarating work of popular scholarship. * The Washington Post *
