- Title
Polemismo interreligioso y concepción del pecado original en Ḥasdai Crescas.
- Authors
Fernández López, José Antonio
- Abstract
Originally written in Catalan around 1397-1398, The Refutation of Christian Principles (Biṭṭul Iqqarei Ha-Nozrim) by Hasdai Crescas is a polemical work that questions Christian dogma using philosophical and logical arguments, not quotations from the Bible. In its pages, Crescas demonstrates a deep knowledge of Christian theology and dogma. This work, like the whole of Crescas' work, is inseparable from the historical context from which it springs: the persecutions of 1391 and their corollary of mass conversions and Christian missionary fundamentalism. Our purpose in this paper is to approach its study by investigating Crescas' critical interpretation of the Christian doctrine of original sin, its connection with the author's own ideology, as well as with the context from which the work springs.
