#13 - Born Guilty? Socinian Rejection of Original Sin

What if the human soul is not born guilty, but responsible only for its own choices? This episode traces how the Radical Reformation’s Socinians dismantled the ancient doctrine of original sin, replacing legal guilt with moral agency. We chart the intellectual roots—from Augustine and Pelagius through Luther and Erasmus—to the Polish Brethren and the Racovian Catechism, setting the stage for the Socinian program that reshaped sin, salvation, and the character of divine justice.
