Abstract

“Sin” and “salvation” refer to two basic concepts of Christian faith. The Social Doctrine of Church displays an implicit anthropological perspective of these terms in the Compendium published one decade ago - a simultaneously synthetic and exhaustive document. Nevertheless, certain limitations are observed when reviewing the approach of this work on those concepts. The article proposes that a exegetical approach to the text of Ephesians 2:1 - 3 and to the one of Ephesians 2:8 - 10 can represent meaningful contributions for a better interpretation of these subjects, based on the linguistic categories of the semantic analysis.
