Title: Sin: Against Whom or Against What?. An assessment of Barth's and Tillich's perspectives on sin and sanctification in comparison to views of New Age authors
Description: KokBoekencentrum Non-Fictie. Paperback. Pp: 448. Sin as spiritual self-denial nAre humans inclined by nature to evil as such? To say yes to that sounds quite far from the assertion that - most people are good`. But even when every one is good, then it is shame if that is not readily apparent. That is why we need a good concept of sin, even though such a concept should address people`s strength instead of their weakness.nThe offence of sin is not directed primarily at a transcendent Supreme Being, but against what is most powerful and most essential in oneself. This brings us to a non-theistic concept of sin as spiritual self-denial. The new sinner does not - curse` at heaven but at his internal self. He/she is not a bad person who sins in spectacular ways but someone who suffers from spiritual laziness, indifference. or a lack of courage.nThat also produces new forms of holiness such as risking your skin to save your soul. Whistleblowers become bearers of moral leadership. ISBN: 9789043533638. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
