MAXIMUS THE CONFESSOR ON FREEDOM
Abstract
One of the main preoccupations of Maximus the Confessor was his participation in the famous monothelite controversy that posed the problem of one or two wills in Christ. The Confessor defended the Orthodox position of two wills, human and divine, but he also negated that Christ possessed gnomic will. This article explores Maximus' position on freedom, by examining main terms such as will, gnome, free choice, self-determination, etc.
