Original Sin Is A Lie: How Spirituality Defies Dogma and Reveals Our True Self

Written by Bob Peck

Narrated by Bob Peck

“Original sin” is a lie. Jesus, a deeply profound teacher of Love and Unity, never said a thing about “original sin”. It’s a doctrine invented by Augustine of Hippo over three hundred years later.

While there are certainly issues within institutional religion, upon textual examination and spiritual contemplation; there are also beautiful, enduring teachings of collective harmony and inner transformation. Underneath layers of ego, the real message shines through.

“Truth is One;

The sages call it by many names.”

—Rig Veda

In this book, author Bob Peck takes us through his own highlights of the “spiritual buffet line”: from present-embracing Zen Buddhists to insightful Indigenous shamans and compassionate karma yogis. He explores the Avatar doctrine of the Bhagavad Gita, the Work of Byron Katie, new science in relation to spirit, and the true loving message of Jesus.

As Peck articulates, the Bible is not infallible, but in certain moments it does point to the Reality of Who We Are; as does Sri Ramana Maharshi, Carl Jung, Anandamayi Ma, the Gospel of Thomas, Dōgen, and A Course in Miracles.

From psychedelics to ‘the illusion’, to Peck’s own learnings along the way, Original Sin Is A Lie is here to point us to a rich spectrum of mystic wisdom across the spiritual traditions and ultimately help us uncover our True Nature. What else is there to do?

Reviews for Original Sin Is A Lie

[matt · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A very neo-christian perspective. New age meets fundamentalism. Boundaries erode when reading and grasping concepts that we already know to be true but fear to live out.

[Alecia Finley · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wonderful! This brought me back to myself. So glad I read it! It was insightful and smart and I loved all of the parallels.

Bob shows you a view of the world's religion from 30,000 feet and very succinctly identifies the commonality in them. For someone who has always felt spirituality deeply but became so disgusted with organized religion at a young age, Bob reminded me that I needn't "throw the baby out with the bath." Through personal experience and ancedote, he shows us a glimpse of what we can find if we stop holding so tightly to the resentment of some teachers and just listen to the teaching.
