The present work intends to analyze Gil Vicent s, play writer and poet, view about virtues and humans degradation considering the salvation aspect involved in it. Literature and Theology altogether can show aspects of humans life, for this reason the Trilogy of Boat: Act of the Boat of Hell, Act of the Boat of Purgatory and the Act of the Boat of Heaven were chosen to be analyzed for represent the thinking concerning salvations aspects in that important time period, that showed a religious disagreement that resulted in Protestant Reformation (1517). The life, the work and the prestige the poet had with the kings John II, Manuel and the queen Eleonor will be observed firstly. Vicent´s works is very important until today; by his work, Trilogy of Boat, the influence of his time and the mean where he lived are observed. He shows that in the Middle Age the society and the church had a lot of sins like lust, avarice, envy, robbery and pride; all Vicent s characters have one or more of these sins and they respond for that. He show us his religious believes in Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory by the destiny he gives to the sinners souls. The poet created a place where angels, the demon and personified death are responsible for who died. In his Trilogy of Boats we analyze the author s concept about salvation and we saw the ones who went to Hell, to Paradise and to Purgatory, to have their sins purified. Finally, we can observe that Gil Vincent was a man who wants to see the transformation of his society and his church. However, our intention isn t defend a point of view referent to soteriology controversy whether salvation can happen through God s grace or by the election through his prescience, we pretend show that both concepts were present before , during and after Vicente s life, as well during the Protestant Reformation. Starting from historic and culture analyses, our intention is respond some questions like: What are salvation concepts in Gil Vincent work? His soteriological thoughts are based on what? Whether, did he a significant contribution to his readers of all the times? And finally: Was he a precursor of Reformation or only discontent with Catholic Church?
