	Creatianism and traducianism - LoveToKnow 1911
		Traducianism is the doctrine about the origin of the soul which was taught by Tertullian in his De anima - that souls are generated from souls in the same way and at the same time as bodies from bodies: creatianism is the doctrine that God creates a soul for each body that is generated.
		19, where the soul is described "velutsurculus quidam exmatrice Adam inpropaginem deducta." Hence we have formed "traducianist," "traducianism," and by analogy "creatianist," "creatianism." Augustine denied that traducianism was necessarily connected with the doctrine of original sin, and to the end of his life was unable to decide for or against it.
		Jerome condemned it, and said that creatianism was the opinion of the Church, though he admitted that most of the Western Christians held traducianism.

	Traducianism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In Christian theology, traducianism is a doctrine about the origin of the soul, in one of the biblical uses of word to mean the immaterial aspect of man (Genesis 35:18, Matthew 10:28).
		There was never any doubt among the Church fathers as to the created origin of the souls of Adam and Eve, and to incline to the opposite opinion, which seemed to facilitate the explanation of the transmission of original sin.
		Traducianism was supported by Tertullian, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Gregory of Nyssa, many in the early Western Church (but Roman Catholicism is creationist), the Lutheran Church, and some Reformed theologians such as Augustus H. Strong and William G.T. Shedd (although most Reformed theologians support creationism).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Traducianism
		Traducianism is opposed to Creationism or the doctrine that every soul is created by God.
		In the early centuries of the Christian Church, the Fathers who touch upon this question defend the immediate creation of the soul.
		Theologically, corporeal Traducianism is heretical because it goes directly against the spirituality of the soul.

		Though it is easy to see why some would see traducianism as closely aligned with modern scientific "facts," this is really because it is amenable to materialistic reductionism rather than because it is logically apparent or empirically evidenced.
		Philosophically, traducianism is favored by the argument that a child cannot really be called the parents’ child unless her soul is transmitted from her parents.
		Traducianism teaches that an individual’s soul is the offshoot of the parental soul(s).

	CatholicMind.com - Selected Writings of Father Anthony Zimmerman
		The theory of Traducianism that parents beget the souls of their children as well as their bodies was never accepted by the Church.
		St. Ambrose (340-397) repudiated Traducianism; so did St. Jerome (c.342-420) who grumped that this error excluded Tertullian from being a "man of the Church." With such clear opposition from the big powers, Traducianism was excluded from gaining a niche in accepted Church doctrine.
		Traducianism nevertheless shaded subsequent theology with a view that original sin is a positive evil substance or quality planted into the soul.

	Traducianism vs. creationism
		Traducianism, followed by Tertullian, Luther, the Eastern Church and some Reformed theologians such as Strong, asserts that since man reproduces after his kind, the soul is part of that which is procreated along with the body.
		Hodge (p.255) notes that one of the strongest arguments in favor of traducianism is the fact that "ethnical, national, family and even parental peculiarities of mind and temper" are transmitted to children.
		As to Christ inheriting original sin through Mary: Following traducianism’s linkage of the body and soul, it is possible that no human inherits sin through his mother’s soul any more than he inherits mitochondrial DNA from his father.

		Of all arguments in favor of traducianism the most effective is that derived from the transmission of a sinful nature from Adam to his posterity.
		He was formed ex substantia matris suæ in the same sense in which every child born of a woman is born of her substance, but what that sense is, his birth does not determine.
		The most plausible argument in favour of traducianism is the undeniable fact of the transmission of the ethnical, national, family, and even parental, peculiarities of mind and temper.

		The theory of Traducianism, on the other hand, lies under none of the objections that may be raised against the theory of Creationism.
		Finally, it does not militate against the account of the cessation of God's creative activity after the six creative days, inasmuch as mediate creation goes on through second causes in Providence, and is in evidence not only in man, but also in all plant and animal life.
		Traducianism should be accepted as in conformity with Scripture.

	Traducianism and Birth Control Methods - WELS.net
		In traducianism the view is that each soul is generated or derived from the parents.
		Martin Luther adopted the view, or theory, of traducianism primarily because it best accounts for the transmission of sin from the parents to the child (i.e., original sin, Psalm 51:5; Ephesians 2:3).
		A creationism view of the soul, as an alternative to traducianism, is troubling because of the doctrine of original sin.

	Question and Answer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Already at the time of the reformation, it was debated whether a human being has a soul at the time of conception (traducianism), or whether the soul comes into the already conceived human body at some later time (infusionism).
		Privately, Luther preferred the teaching that the soul is present at the time of conception, although he refused to make that a public or official teaching of the church.
		Also, while I personally agree with Luther that Scripture seems to support traducianism (the soul exists with the body from the time of conception), since that is an open question not answered clearly by scripture, it might just be that the infusionists are correct.

	IS THE SOUL INHERITED OR CREATED? (This Rock: June 1993)
		Traducianism states it is created by the parents during the reproductive process.
		It is created in a fallen state (preserving the doctrine of original sin) because at the same time it is created it is infected with sin.
		This means traducianism fails because, as its advocates admit, there are no verses which clearly teach traducianism.

	Where Does the Soul Come In? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		There are several views Christianity has taken over time as to the origin of the individual soul, two of which are most commonly held by those who hold a thought-out view.
		Traducianism sees a unique soul springing forth from the souls of the parent, just as DNA (which the church fathers could not have known about) from both parents recombine to form a unique body reflecting a little from mom and a little form dad.
		Should this be how a human person comes to be, then it is logical that there might be a point where an embryo is not fully human.

		Traducianism alone explains why we are all born "in Adam".
		Traducianism dispenses with that problem by saying the child in total was created from the parents from elements they inherited from Adam, the breath of life, a soul, spirit, etc., originally given man as part of the nature of man by God.

		Traducianism, therefore, in which God's relation to individual conception and birth is held to be mediated, has had from the third century wide support.” (f) Another reason for belief in generationism is the fact that it has fairly strong Patristic support, especially in the Christian East.
		In behalf of Traducianism it was said by the Fathers: 1.
		(a) The term “traducianism” was utilized to describe this doctrine because of the familiar lines in Holy Scripture which refer to children as “off-shoots” or “branches.” Messianic prophesies also utilize this terminology in reference to the Christ’s human lineage.

	2 MEN - Part I, Chapter 8
		The word Traducianism is derived from a Latin verb traducere which means "to transmit." The term was originated to convey the idea that in Adam and Eve a soul was directly created to form an inexhaustible reservoir of soul-stuff for their children.
		However, if Traducianism is true and we assume our soul as having been received jointly from both parents, then the Lord's soul was not a creation but was received from both parents, the two parents being the Holy Spirit and Mary.
		Even Traducianism is ruled out for the same reason since, although once introduced it could conceivably fit into an evolutionary pattern, creation ex nihilo is still required to start the process off.

		It was not until the close of the fifth century (4200) when Anastasius II condemned traducianism as heretical34 that creationism supplanted traducianism as the favored theory of ensoulment in the Western Church.
		On the other hand, materialistic traducianism finds least contemporary support among theologians.35 Philosophically, traducianism is favored by the argument that a child cannot really be called the parents’ child unless her soul is transmitted from her parents.
