The Return of Splendor in the World The Christian doctrine of sin and forgiveness Christof Gestrich - U.S.A. W.B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., 1997 - 344tr. Paperback, illustrations 23 cm

In this volume Christof Gestrich provides a thoroughgoing examination of the doctrine of sin and forgiveness in light of these and other important questions. Gestrich first canvasses developments in the doctrine of sin and evil from the thought of Augustine to contemporary times and discusses in depth such topics as the impact of philosophy on the theological doctrines of sin and humanity, the various theological interpretations of the fall and of original sin, and understanding evil in our time. He then turns to a discussion of the meaning and importance of the forgiveness of sins - the true means to the return of splendor in the world.
