For a conceptualization of structural sin

  • Alfredo dos Santos Oliva UNESP

Abstract

In this article we display some arguments for the construction of a concept of structural sin. Our route starts by taking the old tradition of the Church Fathers as reference, passes by two recent Latin-American Councils and leads to the contemporaneous theology. Our finishing point will be a conceptualization of sin that can relate personal responsibility, with respect to sin, to social elements.
