"The seven deadly sins - pride, anger, lust, avarice, gluttony, envy and sloth - as a way of looking at some pressing issues of modern life: religious conflict, rage in kids and adults, sexual behaviour, corporate greed, binge drinking, rising personal debt and political apathy.
Exploring these issues afresh - and often questioning conventional wisdom - demands a look at the evidence, drawing on the wealth of information now available on people's health, incomes, education, employment, families, relationships and social attitudes."
