Perhaps surprisingly, the notion of The Seven Deadly Sins does not appear in the bible. There were six 鈥榯hings鈥� identified in the Book of Proverbs 鈥渄oth the Lord hate鈥�, but it was Pope Gregory I in AD 590 who compiled the list of sins we recognise today - lust, greed, gluttony, envy, wrath, sloth, and vanity.聽 So why has the list endured?聽 Do they still describe the least desirable aspects of humanity?聽 Are we still measuring ourselves against a 6th Century standard, and is the very notion of sin outdated?聽 Jenni speaks to Alex Clark, who has commissioned an anthology of work called The Seven Deadly Sins, and to Angie Hobbs, Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield.

Her book, Songs of Innocence - The Story of British Childhood, examines the influence of war, contraception, television, and crime on the way children are viewed and treated by parents and society. Only one hundred years ago, thin and ragged children went out to work to contribute to the family finances.

Fran Abrams joins Jenni to discuss the changes in childhood.
