Talk: Genesis and Evolution - Original Sin or original sinfulness?

Source: Briery Retreat Centre

Talk via Zoom

Wednesday 26 January 7.30pm - 8.30pm

Scripture Scholar Joe Fitzpatrick will give a talk entitled 'Genesis and Evolution' - Original Sin or original sinfulness?

It is based on his book: 'The Fall and the Ascent of Man'.

Joe Fitzpatrick challenges the traditional interpretation of chapter three of Genesis: the story of Adam and Eve in Eden. This narrative was imposed on the Christian West, but not the East, through the genius of Augustine of Hippo, and came to dominate Catholic and Protestant theology. Fitzpatrick points to weaknesses in Augustine's interpretation of the Genesis story before providing a revolutionary interpretation of his own.

There will be an opportunity for Questions.
