Anderson, Gary A. 1955-

Sin A history Gary A. Anderson - U.S.A. Yale University Press 1985 - 253tr. hardcover 24cm

An extraordinary piece of detective work. Anderson shows how the central way of representing - and conceiving of - sin changed dramatically within biblical times, and how this change in turn came to be elaborated in later Judaism and Christianity. This is an extremely important, indeed, mind-changing book for anyone interested in the history of these two religions.
