Original blessing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original blessing is a concept in the theology of Episcopal Matthew Fox and others that offers a more optimistic theological doctrine of creation, anthropology, and hamartiology or sin than that of classical Christian theology. Specifically, this concept is raised as a counterpoint to original sin. Fox articulates this doctrine in his book Original Blessing: A Primer in Creation Spirituality. He speaks of it as a theology that is more "ecologically" derived [1].
