This engaging book, which takes its cue from John Paul II's description of Western society as a \"culture of death,\" unveils the many faces of sin, death, and the devil manifest in today's 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 God's victory over these enslaving powers through the proclamation of the gospel and the sacraments of the church. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e Gary A.
