Fausto Sozzini, la mortalità d'Adamo e la teologia moderna
25-50 p.
In his dispute with Francesco Pucci, Fausto Sozzini argues that man was not created immortal but, being by nature subject to death, he could be made perpetually immune only through divine grace, which was a gift not included in his creation. It has thus been suggested that the Pucci-Sozzini querelle should be read as an expression of the broader debate that opposed the two 'souls' of modern theology, that is the Thomistic and the Augustinian. By reconstructing the late medieval theological debate on the mortality of Adam in the condition of innocence, the Author tries to show that Sozzini's theses are greatly indebted to Duns Scotus' criticisms of Thomas Aquinas.
