" ...Deux evenements dominent et contiennent, selon le christianisme, toute l'histoire du monde et de l'humanite: le peche du premier homme et la Passion redemptrice du Christ. En contrevenant a la defense divine, Adam s'est separe de Dieu; il a detruit sa propre saintete et sa beatitude; il s'est perdu lui-meme et tous ses descendants avec lui: oeuvre de mort, qui ne pouvait etre abolie que par un homme-dieu.

Classical Durkheimian Studies of Myth and the Sacred presents English translations of several important essays, some never before translated, by members of the famous Annee sociologique group around Emile Durkheim.
