Den som är satt i skuld är kanske fri: Luthersk arvsyndsteologi i förändring

Sammanfattning: This bachelor degree essay is an attempt to evaluate four interpretations within the Church of Sweden of the doctrine on original sin and their relation to a Lutheran tradition. I have tried to see if it is possible to assess the degree of loyalty to the Lutheran tradition in the Church of Sweden present in the works of the theologians Bengt Hägglund, Anna Karin Hammar and Eva-Lotta Grantén and in the proposal to a new Swedish Church Service Book. The conclusion is that the differences between Hägglund, Hammar, Grantén and the Service Book proposal are not so much due to their appreciation of the tradition as to their different points of view. Still, their different approaches say something about which role they hold for the doctrine on original sin in theology.
