Title: Original Sin in the Western Tradition
Product review: One can trace much of the Western theological tradition to the concept of original sin, and this book is an excellent resource for such studies. Augustine to Anselm, Trent and Luther, Neibuhr to Reuther to Lonergan. The first part of the book is a historical recap up to the 16th century, mostly based upon secondary sources. The second half deals with contemporary authors dealing with the inheretance, no pun intended!I would suggest Romanides' "The Ancestral Sin" for a more detailed telling which also takes into account the Eastern Church.
