商品簡介
Where did sin begin? Not in a garden, but in the courts of heaven -- before the serpent spoke, before the woman reached for the fruit, an order of shining ministers left their stations and bent the reckoning of the world. Original Sin traces the first rebellion to its root: the theft of time itself, when the courses appointed to keep the seasons of the earth were forsaken by the very stewards set to keep them.In the elder voice of the King James tradition, this volume walks from the world above -- where an order of hours was kept from before the first day -- down through the fall of the Watchers, the bending of the courses to a younger reckoning, and the long ledger of a creation that groans under a broken clock. And it does not leave the reader in the ruin: the witness runs forward to the Second Adam, in whom the times are gathered up, the wound is healed, and all things are made new.Volume III of The Sacred Clock Collection. For the reader who has ever asked why the world's year wanders and whose fault it was: the answer is older than Eden, and the remedy is stronger than the fall.
