DOING WITHOUT ADAM AND EVE: SOCIOBIOLOGY AND ORIGINAL SIN

An award-winner! Doing without Adam and Eve retains much traditional theology while recognizing the contributions of science to our understanding of the cosmos, evolution, and human nature.

Original Sin is the sin at our origin. However, it is also the sin that corrupted human nature, making our nature itself sinful. But suppose there was no first sin, no sin that corrupted humanity. Are we still inclined to sin and, if so, why? Our evolutionary heritage inclines us to greed and generosity, lust and love, nepotism and care of neighbor, vengence and mercy. We are remarkably free, so free we need guidance and spiritual support if we are to resist sin. These aids come from Jesus' teachings and from the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Or so this award-winning book argues.
