    Egan, Robert (2013) Towards a Synthetic Account of Sin that Merges Magisterial Teaching and Theological Reflection on Sin with the Philosophical Insights of Bernard J.F. Lonergan. PhD thesis, St. Patrick's College, Maynooth.

    Abstract

    In my dissertation I shall develop a synthetic account of sin that examines and takes seriously the theological anthropology provided by the magisterium and contemporary theologians. I shall also attempt to make this account of sin accessible to the more sceptical reader by drawing on the work of the Canadian philosopher and theologian Bernard Lonergan (1904-84). In his works, especially Insight (1957), Lonergan provides solid foundations for the possibility of sin, ethical knowledge, and human freedom.
