David Konstan, The Origin of Sin : Greece and Rome, Early Judaism and Christianity, Bloomsbury Publishing, 2022, 216 p.
Presentation
Where did the idea of sin arise from? In this meticulously argued book, David Konstan takes a close look at classical Greek and Roman texts, as well as the Bible and early Judaic and Christian writings, and argues that the fundamental idea of "sin" arose in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, although this original meaning was obscured in later Jewish and Christian interpretations.
