Description
On Sin and Free Choice consists of three commonplaces. First, āOn Original Sinā addresses the first sin of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) and the terrible results of this primeval sin: the fact that all of Adamās and Eveās natural descendants lack original righteousness, are corrupted in their natures, and therefore stand guilty of Godās just judgment. The original sin is handed down from parents to children via the natural processes of procreation. The healing from original sin, merited by Jesus Christ, begins to be applied in Holy Baptism.
Second, āOn Actual Sinsā deals with human statements, deeds, and desires that are against Godās moral law. Gerhard examines many categories of sins, and especially shows that even the wrongful desires within people are truly sins. The distinction between āmortalā and āvenialā sin is shown to be biblical, but must be guarded from misunderstanding.
Third, āOn Free Choiceā speaks of how fallen human beings have some freedom of choice, but not the kind of freedom that could turn them towards God. The fallen human will freely chooses only things that are contrary to God, until the Holy Spirit converts a person to faith in Christ.
About This Series
The Theological Commonplaces series is the first-ever English translation of Johann Gerhard's monumental Loci Theologici. Gerhard was the premier Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century. Combining his profound understanding of evangelical Lutheran theology with a broad interest in ethics and culture, he produced significant works on biblical, doctrinal, pastoral, and devotional theology. Gerhard interacts with the writings of the church fathers, Luther and his contemporaries, and the Catholic and Calvinist theologians of his day. His 17-volume Loci is regarded as the standard compendium of Lutheran orthodoxy, with topics ranging from the proper understanding and interpretation of Scripture to eschatology.
