May be best explanation of ENVY I’ve ever read. The authors have shown how these 7 branch into a myriad of other sins. Massively convicting 🔥 If we really stop to intimately examine our struggles, they align with 1 or more of these 7 deadly sins.
“The harder [the envious] try to compete and the more deeply they lust for the happiness of another, the more it eludes them” (42).

ANGER—we love ourselves too much 54
Sinful anger “happens when we misperceive reality as unacceptable, when we are so blinded by our self-consumed loves that we want to annihilate anything that doesn’t serve us…we respond in a manner disproportionate to the facts, forcing everyone around us to interpret the world on our terms, based upon what we love most—which is too often the object in the mirror” 53

Intro: why these have historically been considered the “7 deadly sins” & why the “ranking of sin obscured the fact that all sin, small or great, is rebellion,” but it does “help us see and defeat our darkest inclinations” (19, 20)
The 7 “are all woefully inadequate substitutes for the wonder, beauty, and affection of God” (13)
PRIDE: reminds of Keller’s Self-Forgetfulness book; so good the ch is
