Description
Summary:Due to the importance of the word "liberation" the author intends to show the process of the liberation of man in this world, having in mind the theology of St. John. Therefore the author studies the biblical meaning of "liberation" in the Old and New Testament, being its highest point forwarded in Christ. The conclusion is that liberation is the original reconstruction of man as son of God. Israel experienced the liberation through the Exodus and the Christian through Christ. The author thinks that the full meaning of liberation is to be found in St. John (Jo. 8,32), which includes the liberation of all the earthly conditions.
