This incisive, open access book explores the continued power and relevance of a core Christian teaching: the doctrine of sin.
Recently, there has been little enthusiasm for the doctrine in its traditional Augustinian form, especially as expressed by Protestant Reformers like Martin Luther. Torrance defends the claim that Luther's radical doctrine of sin in fact retains important insights and continues to have explanatory power in the contemporary world. He explores this with a productive dialogue between theology and critical theory. This volume reveals that Luther's hamartiology is robust and far more able to respond to contemporary issues than many competing hamartiologies.
At the same time, Torrance reveals how critical theory can work constructively with theology. By working in tandem, they allow creative exploration of questions such as the effect of sin on human reason, the nature of structural pathologies, and the experience of human shame. In and through these dialogues, Luther's doctrine of sin shows itself as a plausible, robust and psychologically astute doctrine for the present day.
