Is original sin compatible with evolution? Many today believe the
answer is 'No'. Engaging Aquinas's revolutionary account of the
doctrine, Daniel W. Houck argues that there is not necessarily a
conflict between this Christian teaching and mainstream biology. He
draws on neglected texts outside the Summa Theologiae to show that
Aquinas focused on humanity's loss of friendship with God - not the
corruption of nature (or personal guilt). Aquinas's account is
theologically attractive in its own right. Houck proposes,
moreover, a new Thomist view of original sin that is consonant with
evolution. This account is developed in dialogue with biblical
scholarship on Jewish hamartiology and salient modern thinkers
(including Kant, Schleiermacher, Barth, and Schoonenberg), and it
is systematically connected to debates over nature, grace, the
desire for God, and justification. In addition, the book canvasses
a number of neglected premodern approaches to original sin,
including those of Anselm, Abelard, and Lombard.
