Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.1BI

[The sinful condition raises a question:

What do I (a sinner)2 recognize as myself2?

My own self-recognition cannot occur without a normal context.

But, will this normal context allow me to recognize myself, as “I am who I am”?

Or will I recognize myself in “the mirror of the world”?

Then I become “I am who the mirror says I am”.

Such is the nature of self-destruction.]
