A specialist or scholar who studies hamartiology, the theological concept of human sin and error; less commonly, a scholar focused on tragic flaws in literature.
Combines hamartia (Greek for 'error' or 'sin') with the suffix -ologist (one who studies), creating a term for experts in sin theology or character flaws.
