Opis

Drawing on Aquinas, Houck proposes a groundbreaking theory of original sin that is theologically robust and consonant with evolutionary theory.

Recenzje

'Daniel Houck's book offers a notable contribution to the literature on original sin, especially, but by no means only, in relation to Thomas Aquinas. It is also noteworthy as a work at the interface between theology and science, given that Houck's treatment of each is equally deft, with both given the detailed conceptual and historical attention they deserve … It is a particular delight to come across a work of theology so well versed in science.' Andrew Davison, International Journal of Systematic Theology
