This course will consider the matters of sin and evil as they are accounted for in the Christian theological tradition. Subjects to be discussed will include: the place and manner of evil’s emergence, the question of original sin, the devil and demons, personal evil, systemic evil, the relation of sin and grace, sin and culpability, sin and the will, sin/evil and God (theodicy), and hell. A major theme of the course will be the necessity of understanding sin from the vantage point of its negation in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
