Christian views on sin
The doctrine of sin is central to Christianity, since its basic message is about redemption in Jesus Christ.〔Rahner, p. 1588〕 Christian hamartiology describes sin as an act of offence against God by despising his Person and his commandments, and by injuring others.〔Sabourin, p. 696〕 It is an evil human act, which violates the rational nature of man as well as God's nature and his eternal law. According to the classical definition of St. Augustine of Hippo sin is "a word, deed, or desire in opposition to the eternal law of God."〔''Contra Faustum Manichaeum'', 22,27; PL 42,418; cf. Thomas Aquinas, STh I-II q71 a6.〕〔Mc Guinness, p. 241〕
Among some scholars, sin is understood mostly as legal infraction or contract violation or violation of Christian ethics, and so salvation tends to be viewed in legal terms, which is similar to Jewish thinking, see Judaism and Christianity#Sin for a comparison.
Other Christian scholars understand sin to be fundamentally relational—a loss of love for God and an elevation of self-love ("concupiscence", in this sense), as was later propounded by Augustine in his debate with the Pelagians.〔''On Grace and Free Will'' (see ''Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers'', trans. P.Holmes, vol. 5; 30-31 ()).〕 As with the legal definition of sin, this definition also affects the understanding of Grace and salvation, which are thus viewed in relational terms.〔Grace is understood as God's love brought to the human soul by the Spirit (Romans 5:5), and salvation is the establishment of that love relationship.〕〔For a historical review of this understanding, see R.N.Frost, "Sin and Grace", in Paul L. Metzger, ''Trinitarian Soundings'', T&T Clark, 2005.〕
