"Sin doesn't really exist as a
serious idea in modern life," wrote the
journalist Bryan
Appleyard He is not alone in his views. Sin has become just as tainted,
polluted and
defiled in the
postmodern mind as the world itself indicates.Atonement for a 'Sinless' Society is about an encounter between two stories the story of the postmodern, postindustrialized, postChristian 'sinless' self and the story of Atonement played out in the Passion Narrative. Alan Mann charts a way through the apparent impasse between a story that supposedly relies on sin and guilt to become meaningful and one that fails to recognize the plight of humanity as portrayed in this way. He shows that the biblical narrative needs to be reread in the light of this emerging story so that it can speak meaningfully and sufficiently to an increasingly 'sinless' society..
