Entry: The Addams Family Chapel Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_addams_family_chapel#11035 Post contents: Sid, I appreciated your brilliant remarks on Original Sin and other subjects. I wonder if your opposition to Augustine's concept of original sin as inheritance is based only on philological conclusions or rather that you consider the inheritance theses to be tainted by some sort of "subconscious" Manichaeism on the part of Augustine. In both cases, however, you are probably wrong, for the idea of original sin as inheritance seems to have been taught long before Augustine. What is your source on this problem? I'd love to know what books you been reading on this subject. As per your question on whether the Reformation polemic is about grace or authority, it seems to me that it could be summed up in the "three sola": Sola gratia, sola fide, sola scriptura.
