Here we confess that he so acts in and through all his creatures, according to the laws of their being which he himself has created and maintains, that he both causes them to act and to act precisely as they do....The problem, indeed, assumes a different shape when we face the insoluble riddle of sin and its entrance into the world.

What riddle? According to the author God causes them(us) to act as precisely as they(we) do. Given that and given that Man commits sin, Who causes(-ed) sin?

There is no riddle. Given the statements made by this author God caused sin to enter this world.

I don't know about you, but I have a hard time swallowing that.
