The Legal and Theological Notion of Christian Liberty

Abstract

This essay focuses on the notion of Christian liberty, examining it from the perspective of several fields of science. It concentrates mainly on the preparation
of a legal and also of a theological notion by revealing and cataloguing the main possible elements those notions might consist of. We offer a traditional
and also a more dynamic, process-like version related to both aspects. Firstly, the new legal notion of Christian liberty is based on a sociological basis that
refers not only to the legal norms / legal decisions but also to the practices of different authorities beyond those legal sources. Secondly, the new theological notion of Christian liberty is shown by referring to the stages of the development of a human being’s character. Moreover, this essay properly demonstrates that the results of different sciences may mutually influence each other.
