ABSTRACT
God’s acts of atonement are Trinitarian in the sense that all three Persons of the Trinity are involved in reconciling us to God. This can best be explained in the light of the three freedoms that, according to St Bernard, God should grant us in order for us to be reconciled with him. As I explained in Chapter 3, these are liberum arbitrium (freedom of choice or freedom from necessity), liberum consilium (freedom of councel or freedom from sin) and liberum complacitum (freedom of pleasure or freedom from suffering).
