Virtue amidst Vice represents an attempt to probe a relatively obscure portion of a relatively obscure New Testament document. 2 Peter reflects a social setting that presents a most daunting pastoral challenge. The danger confronting the Christian community is a lapse in ethical standards and a return-whether by mere forgetfulness or in wholesale apostasy-to the former way of life. 2 Peter's prophetic and paraenetic response borrows from the moral grammar of contemporary moral philosophers in exhorting the readers to recall-and validate through virtuous living-the faith they have received. The theme of the moral life runs throughout 2 Peter, with the various components of the author's literary arsenal subordinated to this thematic development. It is the function of the catalogue of virtues (1.5-7) both to introduce and to anchor the author's call to repel moral scepticism and reinvigorate the moral life.

Excerpt from The Beauties of History, or Pictures of Virtue and Vice: Drawn From Examples of Men Eminent for Their Virtues, or Infamous for Their Vices; Selected for the Instruction and Entertainment of Youth Doubtless you have all too much ingenuousness of temper, to think of repaying the fears and bleeding anxieties they have experienced for your welfare by deeds of unkindness, which will pierce them to the soul; which will perhaps break the string of a heart, of which you, and you only, have long had the sole possession No, my young friends so far from this, you will think it the greatest happiness of your lives to follow our bles sed Saviour's example, and to shew the most ten der concern for your parents particularly if, like his, your's should happen to be a widowed parent; a mother deprived of her chief happiness and stay, by the loss of a husband for which nothing can compensate, but the dutiful and affectionate beha viour of her children who are bound, in that case, to manifest double kindness, and to alleviate, by all the tenderness and affection imaginable, the many difficulties and sorrows of widowhood.

In A.D. 590 Pope Gregory I issued a list of sins against which Christians should especially guard themselves. It was not the first such list. Proverbs, for example, names seven sins that God detests. But "the seven deadly sins" codified for the medieval church-and for our own-the nature of sinful thought, which will surely eventuate in sinful acts. There are no laws against the seven deadly sins themselves; the best our legal system can do is try to restrain the behavior that works out of these crimes of the heart. Greed itself is not illegal, for example, but the frauds, thefts and robberies that greed provokes bring serious prison time. But this is always after the fact. Jesus traces bad behavior back to a corrupt heart. He indicted the Pharisees for whitewashing a rotten interior, a tomb filled with "dead man's bones." "The Seven Deadly Sins" expose the bones. Part II offers seven additional articles on the sins' antithetical Christian virtues. The essays in both Part 1 and Part II are featured in the 435-page anthology, "Garage Sale of the Mind and Other Opinions" by Jim Hills (2015). By popular request, this provocative slimmer volume has been produced. Enjoy!
