 * Comment: I question using Robin Lane Fox's book unauthorized version as a wp:reliable source in the lede for the following reasons:
 * 1) Why is this book published by the Penguin Group and not by an academic publishing house? Penguin is known to publish Pseudo-scholarship.
 * 2) Why does the source given not have a page number?

LDS denominational views
The section “denominational views” is misleading in the section titled latter-day saints. This is mainly due to the differing views between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other restoration sects. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day, the largest of the groups, rejects the idea that culpability for original sin is inherited by the descendants of Adam and Eve. The passage would be correct if the term original sin were replaced with “Adam’s fall.” “Original guilt” and “original sin” are synonymous to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Eastern Orthodox
The opening sentence, "Original sin is the Christian doctrine" misrepresents Christianity as a whole. Eastern Orthodox do not have this doctrine and regard it as "new"; an innovation and change to the Christian faith which we reject. BillyBarooHoo (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
