A Compendium of Christian Theology: Being Analytical Outlines of a Course, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

The discussion of Providence nas e Aiiibited Sin, the destruction of wliich was the object of the redeeming counsel, as contemplated from eternity in connection with the origin, developme Tit, and destiny of mankind. It is therefore as a doctrine interwoven with all the subsequent stages of theology, being in fact one centre from which the whole may be viewer. But it has its own range of independent topics, making it a distinct study. We ascend first to the mystery of its Origin, in the universe and on earth, this leading of necessity to the consideration of its Nature in itself and of the Theories devised to account for it; then follows the relation between Sin and Redemption, or rather the miti.s:ating effect that the coming redemption throws back upon the evolution of evil; thus introducing, finally, its universality in mankind, or Original Sin, the sin adhering to the race as such and to every member of it naturally bom into the world. From dxa rta, the general New-T estament denomination of sin Tennias subjective or in the soul, has been derived the term Hahab WTIOLOOY, occasionally used for this entire department. It appears in some systems as PoNBROLOOT, from irovrfpov or ironpia, which indicates rather the objective character of sin or evil in its manifold relations and consequences. It is useful to note these terms, though they are not much used in English
