The premise of this book is simple: sin is dead. Not the state of sin, of course, but the word itself, and the impact of the word, which, for the better part of human history helped individuals and communities-both pagan and religious-recognize when they were missing the mark. Until we can make sin understood again, and begin to restore its rightful place at the breaking point of the human condition, none of the promises of God's saving love will ring true. Man turned in on himself is a Renaissance-era image of sin that reflects our modern day suffering- anxiety, depression, apathy, loss of purpose and community, our disordered relationship to technology-and calls it by its rightful name. Sin as scarlet letter has only pushed people further from grace. May sin as homo incurvatus in se help bring them back.
