«...to deliver man». The Freedom of Jesus Christ in the Work of Maximus Confessor and Present Christology.
The work of Maximus Confessor (580–662) is widely accepted in contemporary theology. His struggle against monotheletism made him sensible for the redemptive importance of the humanity and freedom of Christ. But for a correct interpretation of Maximus’ christology one has to consider the correlation with cosmology, anthropology and the theory of fall and original sin. The freedom of man reaches his destination only in obedience to God, in the restoration of the free will through the communion with God’s will.
