God And Sin In The Appetites (1894)

By Jacob Hartmann

Book Overview

God and Sin in the Appetites is a philosophical work written by Jacob Hartmann in 1894. The book explores the relationship between God and sin, focusing on the role of human appetites in this dynamic. Hartmann argues that human appetites, such as hunger, thirst, and sexual desire, are not inherently sinful. Instead, they are natural impulses that have been given to humans by God. However, when these appetites are indulged in excess or in ways that harm others, they can become sinful. The book delves into the concept of free will and the responsibility that humans have to control their appetites in order to avoid sin. Hartmann also discusses the role of religion and morality in guiding individuals towards virtuous behavior. Overall, God and Sin in the Appetites is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between God, sin, and human nature. It offers a unique perspective on the role of appetites in human behavior and raises important questions about the nature of morality and free will.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
