I have read in various places that Luther's understanding of sin was incurvatis in se, developed from St Augustine, meaning to be curved in on oneself, neither open to God, or neighbour.
I was wondering in Lutheran theology how one is delivered from this state, and if once delivered whether one can become once again incurvatis in se?
Also I was looking at a book by Bonhoeffer called Act and Being which seems to explain incurvatis in se, has anyone read this? Who would this book be helpful to, would it help someone who is themself incurvatis in se?
