[In the next few blogs, I construct a thread in the style of Carl Jung.
It will lead me back to Schoonenberg’s discussion on our inclination to evil as a sequel to sin.]

What about this vision of Original Sin as a reification of our own interpretations of the ‘what is real’. Once reified, a “serpent” inspires us to actions that produce results that differ from expectations (i.e. what is defined to be ‘real’). How do we deal with those results? Examples? And how does this picture resonate with traditional interpretations of these chapters of Genesis. This topic is addressed in chapters 11,12 and 13.

[In section 2.3, Schoonenberg discusses freedom.
My model for freedom is the thought experiment where ‘I choose something’.
So, I ask the question:
When I, the seat of choice chooses, do I choose a value?
If so, how does value link to the word ‘freedom’?]

‘Freedom of will’ is implicit in the Scripture’s use of the word ‘heart’.
What comes from the heart?
Thoughts, words and deeds come from the heart. Choice comes from the heart.
