- This book demonstrates the profound influence of a Christian concept—original sin—on Sartre's existentialism and argues that Sartre's philosophy can serve as a useful stimulus for thinking about the relevance of the concept of sin today. Using historical, exegetical, and conceptual methods, Kirkpatrick argues that his account of freedom can be read as an anti-theodicy that is compatible with sin and grace. Described as an ‘informative’ study ‘offering a fresh perspective’, the book opens up a rich and unmined vein of theological influence and inheritance that is of great benefit to theologians and ‘Sartre scholars of all stripes’.
