This new paradigm proposed that humanity inherited death and corruption, but not sin, from Adam and that the purpose of the Incarnation and salvific work of Christ was to restore humanity from death and corruption, but not an inherent sinfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to this popular and seemingly dogmatic paradigm and false dichotomy between Western and Eastern teaching on sin and atonement, \u003cem\u003eAdam's Sin, Our Humanity, and Christ's Redemption in Cyril of Alexandria\u003c\/em\u003e asserts that the writings of many Eastern fathers of the early fifth century incorporate many, if not the majority, of the terms and teachings behind what have been labelled as Western departures concerning original sin and atonement. Through a comprehensive analysis of the writings of Cyril of Alexandria and some of his contemporaries in the early fifth century East during the time of the Pelagian controversy, this book demonstrates that a central and consistent theme of their soteriology revolves around the sinfulness and guilt of all humanity that is rooted in Adam's sin by nature and is resolved only through recapitulation into the new root, the second Adam, the impeccable Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChrist's impeccability is necessary to correct the state of sinfulness and guilt in humanity through his incarnation and spotless sacrifice on the cross as a ransom and substitute on behalf of and in exchange for all to satisfy the divine justice and to restore humanity to its original state in the divine image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933624844524,"sku":"9780813239767","price":115.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780813239767-adam-s-sin-our-humanity-and-christ-s-redemption-in-cyril-of-alexandria.jpg?v=1783878642"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/anthony-bibawy.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
