NSBT 05: Original Sin
Illuminating the riddle.The twentieth century witnessed human cruelty on a scale never before imagined. Paradoxically, in recent years
the doctrine of original sin has suffered neglect and ridicule. In this
philosophically sophisticated treatment of the biblical evidence for original
sin, Blocher offers a robust response. Interacting with the best theological
thinking on the subject, he shows that while the nature of original sin is a
mystery - a riddle even - only belief in it makes sense of evil and
wrong-doing.After a general survey of the biblical evidence, Blocher
moves on to discuss the two key texts. First, he considers the relation of the
Eden story of Genesis 2 - 3 to modern scientific, literary and theological
thinking. Then he offers a new and ground-breaking interpretation of Romans 5,
where the apostle Paul discusses Christ and Adam. From this exegetical
foundation, he goes on to show how the doctrine of original sin makes sense of
the paradoxes of human existence. In the final chapter, he discusses the
intellectual difficulties that some feel remain with the doctrine itself. (=
083082605X / 9780830826056)'Blocher is able to think through the
interlocking contributions of historical theology, biblical theology and
systematic theology, and come to fresh conclusions in the light of Scripture,
without overturning all that is valuable from the past. This is a book to be
read and thought through with great care.' - D.A. CarsonSeries: New
