Synopsis

This book is a theologically charged document that seeks to interrogate the very nature of sin, its genesis and the implications of God's involvement or lack thereof. The author stands firmly against the notion that God actively punishes people for the sins of others and argues that an understanding of God as an absolute and uncontrolable being does not translate to Him having the power to lay the sins of one person at the feet of another. This exploration challenges long-held tenets of the Christian faith such as the idea that original sin - the sin committed by Adam and Eve- can be applied to their progeny. The author argues that this flies in the face of both logic and the very nature of justice, and that the concept of sin should always be rooted in a person's individual actions.
