Original sin : illuminating the riddle by Henri Blocher

A genuinely thought-provoking read. Hard work (the thinking, not the reading) but undoubtedly worth the effort.

Original Sin: Illuminating the Riddle (New Studies in Biblical Theology) by Henri Blocher

Blocher has some very helpful things to say. However, I cannot endorse his defense of the evolutionary theory of man. He defends Adam as the first "theological man," but that is as far as he is willing to go. This does seem to influence his take on original sin.
