This book is a theological account of a human condition attested to in religious faiths of the Hebraic and Christian heritage. What makes the account theological is its attention to the paradigm or vision of human evil and good (sin and redemption) present in some form in the primary symbols of these faiths. The account pertains to a human condition because it attempts to discover how elements of this paradigm enter and transform three spheres of human reality: agency, the interhuman, and the social. This volume begins with a depiction of these three spheres, including various dimensions of human agency, thus postponing its specifically theological moment. The central aim of the volume is to understand how human evil and good arise in relation to these tragically structured spheres. Overall, the volume is both a series of discrete explorations (of courage, wonder, subjugation, and interhuman violation), and a comprehensive theory of human evil and good.
