More about the programme:
It鈥檚 a belief which helped to shape the western world for more than fifteen hundred years: it鈥檚 influenced politics, the law, and the way children are treated; and some find its echoes today in widespread feelings of guilt and inadequacy even among people with no formal religious beliefs.聽 But original sin seems rarely spoken of.聽聽 All Things Considered explores why - and what it still means for the world today.
