Dan with another fine theological post on the nature of freedom, salvation, and gift.
By linking freedom to choice, freedom moves from the theological to the anthropological — freedom, from this perspective, is simply part of who we already are, and who we always were, as humans.
Dan challenges the idea that “freedom”, as defined by the usual, “freedom to choose” and “freedom of the market” and “freedom of ideas”. The freedom lies in the “living as if” the gift of God, the telos as directed by God, is accomplished.
