Beskrivning
Can Christian sin-talk be retrieved within the public sphere? In this contribution to ecotheology, Ernst M. Conradie argues that, amid ecological destruction, discourse on sin can contribute to a multidisciplinary depth diagnosis of what has gone wrong in the world. He confronts some major obstacles related to the plausibility of sin-talk in conversation with evolutionary biology, the cognitive sciences, and animal ethology. He defends an Augustinian insistence that social evil, rather than natural evil, is our primary predicament. If the root cause of social evil is sin, then a Christian confession of sin may yet yield good news for the whole earth.

Recensioner i media

On the back cover of the book well-known theologians Sallie McFague, Mark Douglas, Gijsbert van den Brink and Denis Edwards comment on the scholarship represented in Redeeming Sin and the contribution that the book makes to the field. For Van den Brink and Edwards, the scholarship is perceptive and compelling, written with intellectual rigour and radical honesty and for McFague and Douglas its contribution is powerful, wide raging and pervasive with profound insights. I agree with all of these scholars and would suggest, in addition, that RedeemingSin is relevant and contextual to scholarship in Africa.
