E-raamat: T&T Clark Companion to the Doctrine of Sin

These diverse essays comprise an illuminating investigation into that question [ what is sin?], searching the biblical roots of the vocabulary of sin, the doctrines historical development, and its dogmatic implications ... A lucid venture into a difficult topic. This volume will serve as an excellent reference work not only for scholars, but for clergy as well. * The Expository Times * The Companion is admirably clear. This makes it a good reference tool for students of theology and for practicing pastors and ministers, as well as for the generalist member of the public interested in Christian and theological issues. * Reference Reviews * This volume of lucid essays presents a comprehensive account of the theology of sin in its biblical, historical, dogmatic and moral dimensions, and makes an original and distinguished contribution to the study of a central element of the Christian faith. * John Webster, University of St Andrews, UK * There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors, especially when you are considering something as absurd as sin. Johnson and Lauber have gathered the best of the best - these are the people you want to read on these topics! - and smartly asked them to write long essays on Scripture, major theologians, and perennial issues in the doctrine of sin. The long essay format invites, and delivers, essays that are new, lively, only sometimes in agreement with one another, but always learned, consistently probing and pondering the mystery of iniquity. This isn't only a companion, it's a guide. * Matt Jenson, Torrey Honors Institute, Biola University, USA *
