Entry: Is There Conservatism Beyond Christianity? (or how to book a mental vacation in Athens or Valhalla) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/is_there_conservatism_beyond_christianity_or_how_to_book_a_mental_vacation#23441 Post contents: Sid, If these sins and virtues are widely discussed, there should exist plenty of literature about them. Just give me the citations, and I'll be glad to read. I'm particularly interested in material about the history of pride and humility in Judaism. (Some of the educational texts on sins and virtues that were widely used in early modern England seem to have come from old Jewish sources.) Note that I'm not selecting Jews for special criticism. I have criticized Protestants equally emphatically for having lost the idea that pride is a sin and humility a virtue. Sent at: 2008 10 13
