- Hick and Traducianism
- Definition: An early Christian teaching that souls were passed down from parents rather than uniquely implanted by God.

- The Roman Catholic Church teaches that individual souls and created and implanted by God.
- 3rd Century bishop Tertullian: Souls were passed down from parents (Traductionism)
