Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

GLUTTONY: a Deadly Sin

Dr. Richard Zeile

This is 2nd in Dr. Zeile's series on the Seven Deadly Sins, often called "Capital" sins, not because they are worse than other sins but because they are the sources or motivations for sinful acts. Dr. Zeile explains the deadly aspect, in natural terms, of gluttony, a sin primarily of the body. Accompanied by elements of Evening Prayer, a hymn composed for the deadly sins is included, as well as the Passion reading from Lent which serves as the basis for the message.
