About this ebook

In Brinkman's view Christian freedom is at bottom characterized by that to which one commits oneself in trust. He sees primarily the Christian theology of baptism, with its accent on dying' and rising' with Christ as the model for the way in which one acquires freedom. He illustrates this in this studyby means of a great number of biblical images and images borrowed from the historical debates between Augustine and Pelagius and Luther and Erasmus.
