Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n In this book, Suchocki argues that the condition of \"original sin\" is not primarily a \"rebellion against God,\" but a \"rebellion against creation.\" Sin is action that, whether intentionally or not, contributes to the ill-being of earth or its inhabitants. Its underlying root is not \"pride,\" but a triadic structure that involves (1) a human bent toward aggression that easily tends toward violence; (2) the solidarity of human beings with one another and their environing world, so that to some degree each participates in the plight of all; and (3) social structures that invariably influence the consciousness and conscience of participants in those structures.Given these three factors, to be human is necessarily to be a participant in conditions that make for ill-being as well as well-being. Suchocki concludes her discussion with an interpretation of forgiveness as willing the well-being of victim and violator in the fullest possible knowledge of the nature of the violence. Forgiveness, or living and acting from the will toward well-being, breaks the chain of violence, answering sin with grace.
