Original Sin: A Cultural History by Alan Jacobs

4.0

Short review: This is a cultural history of how the concept of original sin has influenced western culture. It is not a theological history, but does have enough theological material to give a good back ground. I am a little sketchy on the doctrine of original sin as commonly understood. But Jacobs has showed me that the common understanding is not actually the proper theological understanding.
