In the development of the concept of freedom the Protestant current prayed a decisive role. Christian freedom becomes the war-cry of the Evangelical Reformation, openly against the «Babylon captivity» of the law-abiding church. According to Luther the Christian is where God acts on his own, so that he cannot be submitted to any human law; because of this Supreme freedom the Christian is set free from himself, reaching thus an attitude of obedience and service towards all. Christian ethics is therefore under an absolute spontaneity and its motivation is totally independent from the law: it looks towards the criterion of the new creation, but it takes place in the still existing structures of the creation dominated by the original sin. Calvin tries to replace the new liberating concept into a lasting system of social organization. Trusting only in Christ and in God’s grace, the Christian is free from law, obedient to God’s will, free as well from the use of things, even his cultural needs. The care towards weak believers ought not to be an excuse for a false tolerance towards the «Pharisees» .. Calvin’s chosen man is a soldier obedient and committed to the sanctification of public and individual life (pp. 229-246).
