- Abstract
Christianity teaches that the sin which Adam committed at the Garden of Eden has affected all human beings. Damaging the perfect relation between God and human, this cardinal sin is supposed to be expiated by a compensation which contains both the divine and human aspects. The required compensation is paid by the way that the Son of God, in accordance with the divine plan, was made flesh (incarnation), dwelt on this world and sacrificed himself. Although the Jewish tradition admits that the sin of Adam has some effects on human beings, it rejects the idea that the original sin contaminates all human beings, and that God saves humanity from its effects by becoming man. Thus, the criticism of the doctrine of the original sin is the second most prominent theme after that of trinity, in the anti- Christian polemics authored by Jewish scholars. After briefly summarizing the Jewish perspective on the sin of Adam, and the Christian teaching of original sin, this article deals with the criticism of the doctrine of the original sin raised by Hasday Crescas (d. 1410), a famous Jewish thinker and community leader.
