Origins of Sin [EPUB ebook] 

Origins of Sin explores the concept of sin across major world religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, examining its historical evolution and enduring influence on morality.
It delves into how different faiths conceptualize sin, highlighting both shared themes and theological divergences.
Intriguingly, the book reveals how the concept of sin functions as a mechanism for social control and personal accountability, and how societal shifts, such as the Reformation and the Enlightenment, reshaped religious thinking about sin.

The book presents a structured analysis, beginning with an introduction to core concepts of sin in various religions, then assessing the moral implications of these definitions, and finally examining the evolution of sin in secular ethics and modern legal systems.
One significant point is how secular ethical frameworks have adopted elements of sin-based thinking, influencing legal systems and individual moral reasoning.
This approach provides a unique lens for critically examining moral assumptions and fostering thoughtful discussions about ethics in an increasingly diverse world.
