Study online at https://quizlet.com/_dfbr96
- Barth- the Fall has created a permanent emnity between God
and man, see Genesis 2 and 3
- ' at some point in time humanity turned its back of God'
' for a runaway horse is better than a stone'
- early Christian teacher, edicts of Milan where Emperor Constan-
tine made Christianity the main religion in the Roman Empire
- stealing a pear narrative solely for the purpose of sinning
- misuse of Freedom in Eden- Genesis 2 and 3- 'the serpent
deceived me, I ate'
Genesis 3:14-19--> 'you will eat dust all the days of your life'
' I will make your pains in childbearing very severe'
- Calvin, limited election and double predestination, emphasising
the salvific grace of Jesus as Adam's antithesis
- ' seminally present in the loins of Adam'
- wrote Soliloquies and Confessions
- 'lust requires for its consummation darkness and secrecy'
- Concordia lost, humanity in concupiscence post-lapsarian-->
cupiditas
--> Romans 7, 'for I do not do what I want, but the very thing I hate'
' sold as a slave to sin'
- influenced by Plato's cycle of opposites, Augustine's ideas are
similar to plato's chariot
- on women, eve partially responsible for the fall
Augustine proponents ' darkness and secrecy' surrounding sex and sexuality
- Pre-lapsarian existence was one of concordia and divine unity
with God

on free will--> Augustine initially defended free will theodicies but
later rejected them altogether- double predestination, god knows
the elect and reprobate
- see Calvin's ideas
- like Aquinas, contrasts real and apparent goods- worldly good-
ness is not to be confused with the Summum Bonum
- The Greatest good

Catechism of the Catholic Church--> ' Ada, as the first man lost
the holiness'
' transmitted' human nature 'wounded'
- Augustine's ideas accepted in the Council of Trent in the 16th
century
- Augustine later rejected human free will on part of divine control-
we cannot freely come to God without salvific grace and freedom

- Jesus as the second Adam, he was his antithesis - Catholic
Church
- humans cannot be worthy of salvation in and of themselves,
because of salvation--> ORIGINAL SIN

- Hick - instrumental evil, universalism, eschatological fulfilment
- anyone may come to God
- critic of Augustine as he appeared to exclusivist- what about
those who haven't heard the gospel?
^ The Eden story becomes harder to rationalise when one takes
into account the origins of Christianity and Jesus Christ being
around 2000 years ago, when human civilisation predates this
massively
( Pluralism synoptic link )
- Pelagius- did not see evil as a privatio boni but something
that humans might overcome on-earth and achieve salvation for
themselves
- besides, as Schleiermacher argues, it appears irrational and log-
ically contradictory to believe that a perfect world would somehow
fail
- and to assume from this that there is a permanent emnity
between God and man is in itself fallacious, this inherent negativity
is an a posteriori synthetic presumption which isn't compatible with
Augustine criticisms modern day perceptions on sex and free will
-^ as such Augustine might be criticsed for his mythical and picto-
rial way of presenting the Fall--> idea of permanent emnity is hard
to reconcile with
- Pinker--> Christianity responsible for cruelty, we need to instead
use the humanitarian principle
- whereas Judaism by contrast celebrates sexual relationships
- contrasts secular on human nature of evolutionary biologists

- nuance- Hobbes v Rousseau- the nature of human nature
- could consider existentialist ideas of JP Sartre and Libertarian
ideals of JS MIll


Pinker--> Christianity is responsible for cruelty, need to revert to
the humanitarian principle --> BRITISH HUMANIST ASSOCIA-
TION

Freud --> 'infantile neurosis'

ESCHATOLGOGY, QUESTION OF HOW PEOPLE MIGHT BE
SAVED - SOTERIOLOGY
Genesis 25:8 - Abraham is 'gathered to his people'
Revelation 21 - ' the great city was of transparent glass' v. Hell -->
'fiery lake of burning sulphur'
Aquinas--> Beatific Vision, ' simultaneity' face-to-face encounter
with God
2 Corinthians 5:1-3--> ' eternal house in heaven' as opposed to
on-earth 'tent' on-earth
John's gospel--> 'my father's house has many rooms'
Matthew 25--> Sheep and Goats parable, seems like a literal idea
Death and the Afterlife- Heaven and Hell as actual places
HICK'S REPLICA THEORY+ The Catholic Church maintains that
Heaven and Hell are actual places

heaven as the perfection of creation, Aristotelian-Thomistic flour-
ishing--> is this too anthropomorphic?
immortality and God as 2 of 3 Kantian postulates


Revelation 21- 'fiery lake of burning sulphur'
Dante Alighieri's ' The Divine Comedy' (1321)--> literal tour of
Hell's 9 circles
