摘要

This dissertation adopts postfoundationalism's methodological quest for convergence in the interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and the neurosciences with reference to sin and cognition. Evolutionary creationism serves as a template towards a kenotic doctrine of moral cognition that arises from reflections on creation, sin, and repentance. Paleoanthropology elucidates the evolutionary emergence of humans via the consequent biological adaptation for speech that enabled the cultural evolution of moral cognition and religious dispositions. Moral cognition consists of awareness, judgment, and performance. Sin refers to (i) an existential state of spiritual immaturity or impurity to which we are all born (which attracts no guilt and demands no cognitive repentance), and (ii) volitional acts of defiance seeking autonomy (which attracts guilt and demands repentance). Neuroscience raises questions about freedom of will and whether the doctrine of sin can account for the salvation of the amorals, who cannot volitionally sin and do not need to repent. As for freedom, our capacity for cognitive nolition by a neurological veto can reverse preconscious urges and preserve room for a doctrine of culpable volitional sin. The classical doctrines of creation and forensic atonement cannot account for the existential sin of the amorals. We conclude that a kenotic theological doctrine of moral cognition with a soterial atonement best accommodates the distinction between existential and volitional sins, necessary to account for the salvation of the neurologically impaired, as well as the construction of nolition as a neurological veto in the brain. Its significance includes a fresh articulation of soteriology with implications for jurisprudence, medicine, sociology, and the neurosciences. We are thus existential sinners by birth but volitional sinners by choice.
