Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.1AH

Summary of text [comment] page 67

[If “our lives are potentiated by God Recognizing Himself”, then “sin may be more than what it appears to be”.

Sin is not merely its own punishment. Nor is sin only self-destruction. No person can annihilate ‘himself’.

Both heaven and hell are caught up in the theodrama of God Recognizing Himself.

His Recognition penetrates our core, our very being.

Whatever we imagine heaven and hell to be, that image is insufficient.]
