Sin and Virtue: (Religious, Philosophical, Judicial, Secular Perspectives from Antiquity to Modernity)

Sin and Virtue (Paap-Punya) is a profound philosophical and ethical exploration of humanity's oldest moral compass-good and evil-examined through religious traditions, philosophical thought, psychology, and lived human experience. Drawing from Eastern and Western scriptures, classical philosophy, and modern ethical reasoning, Dr. Terala Sreenivas presents a balanced, non-dogmatic inquiry into how societies define sin and virtue, and why these concepts continue to shape human conscience.Rather than prescribing moral absolutes, the book invites readers to reflect deeply on intention, action, responsibility, and consequence. It explores how moral values evolve across cultures and eras, yet remain rooted in universal principles such as compassion, justice, and self-awareness.
