- Title
FELIX CULPA: THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN AS DOCTRINE OF HOPE IN AQUINAS'S SUMMA CONTRA GENTILES.
- Authors
OTTO, SEAN A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the insights of Thomas Aquinas on original sin and original justice. The harmonious state preceding the Fall of man is the original justice. Original sin, on the other hand, results from the rejection of Adam and Eve to the state of innocence. Further discussed is the origin of original sin, its relation to original justice, and it is destroyed by Incarnation.
