The conference itself focused on Dr. Gary Anderson's recent book Sin: A History, which is an investigation into the ancient Jewish and Christians notions of sin, primarily the language of "debt" in the Old and New Testaments. Anderson has produced a slam dunk account of how Second Temple Judaism understood sin in terms of debt and repayment. This understanding also justifies the ubiquitous language of "debt" and "redemption" in the New Testament and Fathers (and especially in the writings of Saint Anselm).
This blog explores both historical and current events guided by the thought of the leading thinkers, past and present, of this school or movement of theology. Refer to the Classic Posts, Great and Contemporary Thinkers, various links of all kinds, in addition to the Archives themselves.
