This timely book retrieves an old awareness that has slipped and
changed in recent decades. The awareness of sin used to be our
shadow. Christians hated sin, feared it, fled from it--and grieved
over it. But the shadow of sin has now dimmed in our consciousness.
Even preachers, who once got visibly angry over a congregation's
sin, now speak of sin in a mumble.Cornelius Plantinga pulls the
ancient doctrine of sin out of mothballs and presents it to
contemporary readers in clear language, drawing from a wide range
of books, films, and other cultural resources. In smoothly flowing
prose Plantinga describes how sin corrupts what is good and how
such corruption spreads. He discusses the parasitic quality of sin
and the ironies and pretenses generated by this quality. He
examines the relation of sin to folly and addiction. He describes
two classic "postures" or movements of sin -- attack and flight.
And in an epilogue he reminds us that whatever we say about sin
also sharpens our eye for the beauty of grace.
