I'm indebted to Brent Auvermann (queueball/qb) in Amarillo for directing me to this series on Original Sin which the author denies), a very thought provoking series to say the least. Being neither a psychologist nor theologian there is some therein that is beyond my total comprehension. BUT, it is a fascinating read. If you are not inclined to click thru the nine installments, I have consolodated them into a single HTML file of 346kb which I'll send via Email upon request to duffrdan@sbcglobal.net .
A Must-Read Blog Series
Posted by queueball on 13 February 2009
Dr. Beck has completed it as of Friday morning, and it’s outstanding. It consists of about 10 posts, scholarly but easy to read, on the topic of “original sin.” Those of you who have been intrigued by the intersection of Christian ethics with such things as Peak Oil, biophysical limits, and ecological footprint will find a lot of echoes, and some interesting and tidy synthesis. And not a little provocation, if you’re wedded to a bunch of simplistic notions of sin and atonement.
Start here, and don’t stop until you’ve read them all. They’re that good.

About Me
- Duffer Dan
- Sparks, Nevada, United States
- I am Dan Smith, widower of Mary, father of four daughters who are married to Christian husbands and mothers each of two wonderful children who have presented me with 3 greatgrandkids, fifth-generation Church of Christ member, retired US Army major who spends a little time on the golf course. My time in/with the Army (20 years in uniform and another 20 years as a civilian employee) was a great blessing. I was part of four overseas congregations (Korea, Okinawa, Turkey and Greece) and one Stateside (Reno, NV) that taught me the concept of unity without uniformity. I am both an exclusivist (accepting as a brother one immersed in water in compliance with Jesus' command) and an inclusivist (accepting ALL baptized believers regardless of their denomination).
