Born Bad
Original Sin and the Making of the Western Mind
Despite its declining popularity among Christians, the staunch belief that we are all innately sinful retains a firm grip on Western consciousness and culture – even in the writings of avowed atheists such as Marx, Freud and Richard Dawkins.

Summary of Born Bad
Press Reviews
Ambitious, thought-provoking … an easy read on an ignored but central and timely topic.
Born Bad is one of the best books on the history of the evolution of Christianity and its ideology. It is beautifully written and very well argued. This book is a necessary read for all those who are interested in Christianity, its evolution, and its history.
Boyce leads us into new understandings of some of the central figures in Western culture... This is an exceptional, highly recommended work, innovative and creative in surprising ways.
A brilliant and exhilarating work of popular scholarship.
