Summary The doctrine of Original Sin is a subject of perennial theological fascination. Comparatively little attention has been paid, however, to the doctrine of original sin and discussions about the origin of the soul. In this article, I argue that of the various models of the soul’s origin on offer, it is something akin to what I call emergent-creationism that naturally provides the most explanatory metaphysical resources for making sense of the transmission of original sin.
