Young Clare Gilmour, the second daughter of an upper middle class London family, is freshly "out" but can't find a place for herself. She meets Roderick Vaughan who sees her naive vulnerability and convinces her to run away with him. Vaughan knows that the family horror of public scandal will lead to a wedding, and so it does, despite the fact that he is vulgar and ill-bred. After the wedding, she discovers she is married to a bully and can't escape him. She meets Basil Everett and finds a person who wants to love her as she is. Ultimately, she is bound by England's divorce laws, unless she and Basil can find a way to escape them.

Book Description
This collection of essays considers what light is shed on Pauline soteriology by giving focused attention to the apostle's language and conception of sin. Sometimes Paul appears to present sin and disobedience as transgression, while at other times sin is personified and treated as an enslaving power. Is there a model or perspective that can account for Paul's conceptual range in his discussion of sin? What does careful study of Paul's letters reveal about the christological and pneumatological remedies to the problem of sin as he conceives of them? These questions are explored with attention to individual Pauline letters towards a richer understanding of his attitude towards sin and its remedy.

Book Description
The biblical-theological approach Boda takes in this work is canonical-thematic, tracing the presentation of the theology of sin and its remedy in the canonical form and shape of the Old Testament. The hermeneutical foundations for this enterprise have been laid by others in past decades, especially by Brevard Childs in his groundbreaking work. But A Severe Mercy also reflects recent approaches to integrating biblical understanding with other methodologies in addition to Childs’s. Thus, it enters the imaginative space of the ancient canon of the Old Testament in order to highlight the “word views” and “literary shapes” of the “texts taken individually and as a whole collection.” For the literary shape of the individual texts, it places the “word views” of the dominant expressions and images, as well as various passages, in the larger context of the biblical books in which they are found. For the literary shape of the texts as a collection, it identifies key subthemes and traces their development through the Old Testament canon. The breadth of Boda’s study is both challenging and courageous, resulting in the first comprehensive examination of the topic in the 21st century.

Book Description
This work by the Anglo-Saxon bishop of York discusses the limited remedies for sin derived from historical records, advocating for a compassionate and discerning approach by priests in administering penance. It highlights the necessity for priests to evaluate the sex, age, condition, and personal context of each penitent, allowing for tailored guidance in their spiritual practices. Various forms of penance, such as dietary restrictions and physical acts of devotion, are suggested as means for individuals to rectify their sins, underscoring the need for a thoughtful and individualized assessment by the confessor.

Book Description
As a black American Catholic, born and raised in the south, I am often asked, "How can you belong to a racist Church?" This prayer book is my deeply personal response to that persistent question. The Catholic church is not racist, but too many American Catholics have not yet repented of the sin of racism. This prayer book contains meditations and traditional Catholic prayers, as well as profiles on black Saints, in an effort to inspire individuals, groups and communities to prayerfully build a Culture of Fraternal Charity.

Book Description
Killing Sin is John Owen's Puritan classic Mortification of Sin updated for today. Owen tackles the age-old challenge for the Christian: how to put to death the power of sin over our lives. This is something that is impossible through man-centered self-help or self-denial. But with God all things are possible. Though we will never be completely free of sin while alive in this world, by putting our faith on Christ with an expectation of His help, the Holy Spirit will bring the His cross into our hearts with all its sin-killing power. Owen tells us why it is imperative for the Christian to be killing sin in his life, what it actually means to kill sin, why only a Christian can do it, why it is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, and how we can avail ourselves of the power of the Spirit to kill sin through gospel faith in the death and resurrection of Christ. Owen's original Mortification of Sin was written in 17th century English that is extremely difficult to understand. This Killing Sin translates Owen into contemporary English that is easy to read without dumbing it down so people today can read this very important book on a most critical topic.
