The origin of sin in the world is a theological subject on which many theologians have expressed their views and thoughts. Of course, it is interesting for theologians to guide believers on how sin entered the world. This helps believers make careful, informed decisions that do not lead them in wrong directions that lead to sin. Although many theologians have given their views on this subject, my article seeks to comparatively analyze the views of St. Augustine and Jonathan Edwards. Original sin has been given both biblical and traditional view and understanding. His doctrine is very significant because it establishes the playing field on which humanity stands before God. Of course, if original sin is something insignificant, then the redemptive work of Jesus Christ would be meaningless. It is certain that the fall of the first human beings, Adam and Eve, had a great influence on the generations that followed. It is therefore too important to understand the state of humanity before the fall, and the state after the fall following the consequences of sin. Augustine is one of the ancient philosophers whose philosophical views introduced Neo-Platonism into Christian doctrines. He is associated with Catholic believers and is known for pioneering "analogous argumentation" to oppose solipsism (Augustine, City of God, 1972). According to Augustine, time is nothing but a state of mind of man's anxiety about reality. He is one of the philosophers and theologians who have contributed significantly to the understanding of original sin. Augustine's view on original sin can be understood by analyzing his perception of the period before and after the fall of humanity. Just like other believers, Augustine also believed ...... middle of paper ...... and the humanity that came after him. On both sides of the argument, it is clear that Jonathan Edward and St. Augustine believed that original sin had a direct effect on the prosperity of the entire human race. All generations were subject to condemnation and death because of the fall of the first man. References Augustine. (1961). Confessions. New York: Penguin Books. Augustine. (1972). The City of God.
