Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.1P

[Schoonenberg’s questions are revealing.

Schoonenberg needed the categorical structure of the nested form.

Why?

He did not have a model for relating values and sinful action. For example:

Thinkgroup3V(sin2V (consciencelacking1V))

This nested form claims that “values put human actions into a normal context”.

Sin (as action) situates “a potential, a conscience, that is the true locus of the damage rendered by bad values”.

“The conscience” is where “values are used as guides for human action”.]
