Meta-historical fall
The meta-historical fall (also called a metaphysical, supramundane, atemporal, or pre-cosmic fall) is an understanding of the biblical fall of man as a reality outside of empirical history that affects the entire history of the universe. This understanding of the human fall is a minority view among contemporary Christian theologians and is associated by some with theological concepts often considered heresies, such as belief in the pre-existence of souls.
