Question 36


Modern Adaptation

Question: What do we call the sin we inherit from Adam?

Answer: Original sin.


Traditional Formulation

Question: What is that sinful nature which we inherit from Adam called?

Adaptation Commentary

Sharpening the question by converting the past participle “called” into the present tense verb “call”, and changing “sinful nature” into “sin” for closer alignment with question 35
