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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Christof Gestrich</note> <subject> <topic>Good and evil</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Forgiveness of sin -- Biblical teaching</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Sin -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">231.8</classification> <classification authority="ddc">C556-G39</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0802841643</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11340/6.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11340/6.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071014.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
