| Résumé : |
The concept of sin has become unfashionable. In a society which claims to be psychologically sophisticated, explanations for human behaviour tend to diminish human responsibility. In the age of Myra Hindley, Dennis Nielsen and the murder of Jamie Bulger, these issues are urgent by any reckoning.
In this sane, wise and thoroughly modern book, Hugh Connolly argues for a renewed sense of sin. He examines our understanding of sin, going back to the pre-christian era and rescues what is best from the past. He restates this in terms which modern, thoughtful people will respond to. Along the way, he tackles Mt Augustine, martin Luther, and Calvin but also looks at examples from literature, philosophy and contemporary culture. The biblical tradition is also examined with great care. |
