Hereditary Sin? Augustine and Origen
Original language description
Augustine’s construction of hereditary sin as referable guilt which is transmitted by libidinous procreation and which in itself, without any contribution of individual human beings, merits eternal damnation, was systematically formulated for the first time in his first anti-Pelagian writing De peccatorum meritis (411/12). In my paper, Augustine’s ideas as expressed in this writing and elsewhere, are compared with Origen whose “Commentary on Romans” seems to have been used in Augustine’s construction of hereditary sin. However, there are important differences between both authors. What is transmitted in the human race, according to Origen, is not sin as referable guilt but the mortal body born from libidinous procreation and affected by sin. As Augustine left Origen’s idea of the soul, which committed sin before its incarnation, he is unable to explain how the misery of sin, transmitted by the body, can affect the soul. What is more, his conviction that all people are affected by inherited sin as referable guilt from their very birth casts doubt upon God’s righteousness.
