Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.6H

Summary of text [comment] page 43

Saint Anselm said, “Sin possesses some kind of infinity.”  Schoonenberg relates this to ‘man’ refusing to live in communion with an infinite God.

Physical evil does not have these features.

[How are we to fit this into a nested form?

Does “refusing to live in communion with an infinite God3” correspond to “a determination of the state of subject1 as person3“?

It sure seems that way.

“Sin2 possesses some kind of infinity” is formulated by Schoonenberg as “some sort of actual limitation2” contextualized by “refusing to live in communion with an infinite God3”.

Consequently, Anselm may be addressing moral evilmetaphysical3(2()) by pointing out a limitation2 of “the person who makes sin possible1”.]
