Ismail al Faruqi : ​“Orig­i­nal Sin” in the Apos­tolic Fathers

By
apostolic fathers

Ear­ly Chris­t­ian per­spec­tives on sin, as exam­ined in this arti­cle, con­trast with Pauline and Augus­tin­ian views. The Apos­tolic Fathers believed sin was acquired through per­son­al choic­es rather than being an inher­ent con­di­tion. They empha­sized human rea­son and moral effort to over­come sin, dif­fer­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly from the idea of inher­ent sin­ful­ness and help­less­ness. This analy­sis high­lights the ear­ly Chris­t­ian focus on eth­i­cal human­ism and ratio­nal­ism in address­ing sin.
