Abwendung von der Gottesgemeinschaft

This study approaches Luther's hamartiology by way of the relatively neglected Great Lecture on Genesis. The author integrates different research perspectives on sin to understand man's turning away in the context of God's attention, understood in Trinitarian terms. By viewing creation, reconciliation, and perfection as the manifestation of God's will for the community of man, sin can be conceived as a turning away from the Word.
