This book traces the history of the interpretation of the disobedience of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 through the biblical period and the church fathers until Augustine. It explains the emergence of the doctrine of original sin with the theology of Augustine in the late fourth century on the basis of a mistranslation of the Greek text of Romans 5:12. The book suggests that it is time to move past Augustine’s theology of sin and embrace a different theology of sin that is both more biblical and makes more sense in the postmodern West and in the developing world.Table of ContentsTable of Contents:AcknowledgmentsAbbreviationsIntroduction1 The Story of Sin in Genesis 32 The Story of Sin in Second TempleJudaism (200 BCE-200CE)3 The Story of Sin in the Jesus Movement[Paul the Follower of Jesus]4 The Story of Original Sin in the GreekChurch Fathers (ca. 150-400 CE)5 The Story of Original Sin in the LatinChurch Fathers Prior to Augustine(200-400 CE)6 Augustine’s Theology of Original Sin(354-430)7 Where Do We Go From Here?

Does the closing of the cold war era open up the possibility of reading the Communist Manifesto in new ways? In the first teaching edition of the post-Cold War era, Toews proposes new guidelines for reassessing the work to help students reconstruct the meaning of the Manifesto in its time and at the close of the twentieth century. Together with the complete text of the work, this brief volume includes some key foundational documents by Hegel, Feverbach, Marx, Engels, and others that show the evolution of and influences on Marxist theory over time. The editor's introduction traces the trajectory of Marx's thought from the 1830s onward, while providing background on the political, social, and intellectual contexts of which the Manifesto was a historical product.

Romans was written by Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. As an apostle Paul spent his life traveling the Mediterranean area preaching the gospel and establishing churches. In the course of his missionary career, Paul wrote numerous letters to the churches he had established as a way to pastor them in his absence. Romans is the longest and most complex of Paul's letters. John E. Toews explores why Paul writes to remind the Roman churches of God's purpose for both Jew and Gentile and to reconcile Jewish-Christian and Jewish-Gentile church relationships.
