What does Scripture mean when it says that the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children? In this groundbreaking theological work, Dr. Dan Schneider explores the biblical and patristic roots of what modern language refers to as “generational sin” or “familial curses.” Drawing from the Church Fathers, particularly St. Augustine, this book reveals how the early Church wrestled with inherited guilt, original sin, and the lingering effects of evil across generations.
With scholarly precision and pastoral insight, Dr. Schneider examines the interplay of divine justice and mercy, the authority structure and the effects of sin upon both families and communities, the interplay between nature and grace, the effects of baptism and a lingering concupiscence, and the need for satisfaction for sin.
Encountering children and families afflicted by evil spirits in a manner consistent with these New Testament accounts is what initially drew Dr. Schneider into this field of study. Throughout the book, and at the end of each chapter, he relates modern stories that echo the ancient reality of generational curses, along with prayers specifically chosen to help readers overcome its lingering effects. The book concludes with practical suggestions for the afflicted and an informative interview with renowned exorcist Father Chad Ripperger, PhD.
