Summary

Many people today believe that the doctrine of original sin is pernicious, antibiblical, irrational, and opposed to the deliverances of the scientific community. A significant number of Christians share at least some of these concerns or objections, while at the same time believing that the doctrine is part of their faith. In constructive and critical dialogue with the most important accounts of original sin in the history of theology, this book has sought to respond to these concerns (focusing on those raised by evolution). Here I review the major arguments of the book and suggest a few directions for future research.
