The metaphysics of original sin
In Peter van Inwagen & Dean Zimmerman, Persons: Human and Divine. New York : Oxford University Press,: Oxford University Press UK. pp. 319--356 (2007)
Abstract
This paper argues that there is no straightforward conflict between the traditional Christian doctrine of original sin and the thesis that a person P is morally responsible for the obtaining of a state of affairs S only if S obtains (or obtained) and P could have prevented S from obtaining.Author's Profile
