"But this small work will interpret sin in its true - that is, serious - meaning. What will emerge from its analysis is the discovery that the concept of sin can still serve to unlock the mystery of existence, at least for a thinking that wants to press down to the very foundations.".The idea of sin attributed to our Lord in the Gospels is shared by New Testament
writers generally. St Paul alone uses the term 'sin' with another connotation as
well. The content of this idea is the foundation for a Christian conception of sin: ...

This 1912 book was intended to redress the vague and inconsistent conceptions of sin in the early twentieth century.In the first part of David Clines' discussion, published last month, he examined
the concepts of 'fictitious sin ', when 'sin ' is not really sin, and that of the 'lesser
good', when sin is the lesser of two evils. This month he concludes his discussion

Most believe that sin first arose with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If this was the first instance, Christianity was not around for another two thousand years or more to include it in its belief structure. The first page of this book clarifies that sin, in its original form, was anything done to anger the gods (rather than God). The word for God in the Old Testament is elohim a plural word. Facts like this make this book a vital source for early theological truths. Offers an outstanding rundown on the early gods, who they were and what they stood for. Contains surprising information on our origins, the source of evil, the gods themselves, and humankinds interactions with them.As one speaking in the biblical and religious traditions of the Judeo-Christian
world, for example, I suggest that we begin this process with the return to our
vocabularies of the Word and above all to Our Convictions of the concept “sin”.

When asked to describe wartime atrocities, acts of terrorism, and serial killers, many of us reach for the word 'evil'. But what does it mean to say that an action or a person is evil? Some philosophers have claimed that there is no such thing as evil, and that thinking in terms of evil is simplistic and dangerous. In response to this sceptical challenge, Luke Russell shows that concept of evil has a legitimate place within contemporary secular moral thought. In this book he addresses questions concerning the nature of evil action, such as whether evil actions must be incomprehensible, whether evil actions can be banal, and whether there is a psychological hallmark that distinguishes evils from other wrongs. Russell also explores issues regarding the nature of evil persons, including whether every evil person is an evildoer, whether every evil person is irredeemable, and whether a person could be evil merely in virtue of having evil feelings. The concept of evil is extreme, and is easily misused. Nonetheless, Russell suggests that it has an important role to play when it comes to evaluating and explaining the worst kind of wrongdoing.Teshuvah means turning back from the "sin" to the straight path, to fulfillment of
the obligation, hence return to faith in He who imposed the obligation — "Turn to
me and I shall return to you" (Zecharaiah 1:3). In any case, the concepts of "sin" ...

This is the first comprehensive philosophical-theological study of the mystical thought of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935), the Chief Rabbi of Palestine prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, and the great representative of the most significant renewal of the Jewish mystical thought in modern times. Rav Kook was the spiritual and hallachic authority who laid the foundation of religious Zionism. Discontent with Hamizrakhi political pragmatism, he envisioned Zionism as a movement of return and all-encompassing Jewish renaissance.Considering these complexities, I propose the following definition: Sin is behavior
chosen without due regard for the serious risks it holds, or behavior which seeks
self without due regard for our nature as a group species, or behavior which ...

This text synthesises modern biology with traditional religious doctrines. The sections are divided into four parts: biology; theology; biotheology in individual life; and biotheology in group life. It aims to assess the individual and social benefits of such a viewThe second difficulty of this theme is that the concept of sin does not play any role

All religions make statements about God or the Absolute and about "the beginning": about the beginning of the world and the beginning and nature of the human person. Propositions about God, the human person, and the world, statements about God's eternity or process of becoming, about the status and nature of the human person as the "image of God", and about the beginning of the world are woven into "religious speculations about the beginning". The theology, anthropology, and cosmology of the world religions determine the image of the human person and the image of the world in the world cultures shaped by the different religions. They stand in a tense relationship with the anthropologies and cosmologies of modern science, which in turn challenge the religions to deepen their image of the human person. With this volume leading thinkers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam provide the reader with a first-hand source for understanding the five world religions and their teaching about God, the human person, and the origin of the world.
