tɹəˈdjuːsɪənɪz(ə)mExamples
“Augustine's insistence on its spiritual nature made it hard for him to uphold⟳, along with Tertullian, the doctrine of physical traducianism.”
“Tertullian suggested that the human soul is transmitted by parents to their children and is therefore inescapably associated with continuing human sin: this doctrine of ‘traducianism’ underlay the pessimistic view⟳ of the human condition and its imprisonment in original sin which was presented in an extreme form⟳ by that later theological giant from North Africa, Augustine of Hippo.”
