The most closely related section of Berkhof’s Christian Faith is ch. 27 (“Man: Guilt and Fate”, pp. 192-215) which can be consulted with profit. Rolf Knierim’s older review article* of a Czech work on OT “Hamartiology” (= “doctrine of sin”) is a technical, but still useful consideration of the vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible (Hebrew is transliterated, which makes it more accessible to those without a knowledge of biblical Hebrew language).
