The true account of Scholasticism is quite different, as Jacques Maritain’s study in miniature, \u003ci\u003eThe Sin of the Angel\u003c\/i\u003e, deftly demonstrates. The question of the angel’s sin is eminently practical, not esoteric: it revolves around the primordial points of free will, eternal destiny, and the unique nature of God himself. “With a world including intelligent beings,” Maritain writes, “it was metaphysically impossible…to have intelligent and free creatures immune from the possibility of falling into sin. This is a basic verity, whose impact on the way in which we consider the mystery of evil is of primary importance.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAdjudged by Maritain himself as an admirable translation of the French original, \u003ci\u003eThe Sin of the Angel \u003c\/i\u003eis a highly technical discussion of an intimidating topic.
