Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dogmatic Theology, Vol. 3 The two volumes of Dogmatic Theology published in 1888 aimed to state and defend the Augustinian and Elder-Calvinistic theology. The great difference between this system and the several schools of Modern Calvinism, and also the Arminian theology, consists in the doctrine of the self-determined and responsible fall of mankind as a species in Adam. This makes original sin to be really and literally guilty and condemning in every individual who is propagated out of the species, instead of only nominally and fictitiously so. It also makes the origin of sin, and the consequent ruin of the race of mankind, to occur at the beginning of human history. The destiny of man was decided wholly in Adam, and not at all in the subsequent generations of individuals propagated from him. Individual life and individual transgression, which in modern theological systems are largely employed to explain the problem of original sin, become of no consequence. They are only the necessary effect of the real cause - the voluntary determination of the race in the primitive apostasy, of which St. Paul in the fifth chapter of Romans gives a full account. Schleiermacher presents an example of this tendency to explain generic sin by individual transgression. In the seventy-first section of his Glaubenslehre he argues elaborately to convert the original sin propagated from Adam into the individual transgressions committed by the posterity. The former, he contends, is guilt only as it is subsequently adopted by each man in separate and conscious acts.
