Synopsis
Clarify what sin means and why it matters. In The Concept of Sin, F. R. Tennant argues for a logically perfect concept of sin, grounded in Christian doctrine and informed by ethics and psychology. The book surveys how the idea has been defined and used, and why a precise definition is essential for theology and practice.
Readers encounter a clear framework for distinguishing sin from mere imperfection, and for understanding how “the material of sin” interacts with voluntary choice, conscience, and moral development. The work also addresses debates among theologians, offering careful analysis without oversimplifying complex questions about guilt, responsibility, and forgiveness.
- Grounded, precise definitions of sin and ethical concepts
- Engagement with ethics, psychology, and Christian doctrine
- Examination of the relationship between will, impulse, and moral judgment
- Discussion of how historical and philosophical debates shape current theology
Ideal for readers of theology, philosophy of religion, and religious studies who want a thoughtful, rigorous approach to sin and its implications.

Présentation de l'éditeur
First published in 1912, this book by F. R. Tennant was intended to redress the vague and inconsistent conceptions of sin that were popularly held at the beginning of the twentieth century. Tennant maintained that for any ongoing debate to remain meaningful, it was imperative that definitions of key terms should keep pace with discussion. Therefore his study aimed at providing a clear, logical definition of what sin in Christian doctrine represented, whilst also bringing to bear the importance of ethics and psychology to any modern understanding of the subject.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of sin, a topic that has long captivated theologians and philosophers alike. The author aims to establish a clear and concise understanding of sin, one that can serve as a foundation for further theological and ethical discussions. The book explores how the concept of sin has evolved, from its early, more literal meaning of "missing the mark" to the more nuanced and sophisticated understanding developed by Christian thinkers over time. The author contends that the traditional concept of sin has been muddled by conflating it with imperfection and failing to distinguish between volitional and non-volitional actions. To illuminate the true nature of sin, the author turns to the Gospels, analyzing the teachings of Jesus Christ, to pinpoint the core elements of the concept as presented in the foundational texts of Christianity. Examining the passages where Jesus addresses sin, the author identifies a clear link between sin and conscious transgression of God's law, emphasizing the importance of the sinner's knowledge and accountability. The author further explores the implications of Jesus' own sinlessness, a central tenet of Christian theology, and argues that this concept requires a distinction between temptation and the act of sin itself. By carefully considering the historical and theological context of the concept of sin, the author sets forth a more rigorous and discerning understanding of this complex and enduring topic, offering fresh insights into its essential nature and its role in human life.
