Manipulation is dominating the social space. The so-called Overton window concept show us how, by way of \u201cfake news\u201d in a particular setting, certain completely unacceptable opinions slowly become part of the social consensus. Without understanding this change, people become deprived of their freedom and begin to feel more and more helpless. Five hundred years ago, theologian Martin Luther (1483-1546) rose against such attempts, defending his theological beliefs form estranged and twisted interpretations. In his essay, On Christian Freedom (1520), he took a firm position. Using a twofold thesis &#8211; that the Christian is both a free man and master of everything so he is not subjected to anyone, and that the Christian is also a humble servant to everyone and that he is subjected to everyone &#8211; he clarified that faith and love lead the Christian in all his activities and works. Luther clarified that in faith and love a fullness of the relationship between God and His loved ones &#8211; the mankind &#8211; is achieved, thus being humble does not mean giving up on our freedom; instead, it means to have the strength and courage to achieve it! Based on the four dimensions of freedom &#8211; political, social, identity, and dialogue &#8211; Luther provides an insight into his own understanding of freedom, which is still applicable in today\u2019s social climate and the challenges of this age. These four dimensions helps the believer to take a clear stance against targeted attempts at deception which are immersed in \u201cfake news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cfake news\u201d;\u00a0Christian freedom;\u00a0Martin Luther;\u00a0Reformation<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><strong>Hr\u010dak ID:\u00a0<\/strong>215612<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><strong>URI<\/strong><br \/>\n<a class=\"normal\" href=\"https:\/\/hrcak.srce.hr\/215612\">https:\/\/hrcak.srce.hr\/215612<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review article https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32862\/k.12.1.6 \u201cFake News\u201d and Christian Freedom \u2013 The Necessity for A Dialogue Benjamin KL Simon ; Ecumenical Institute of the World Council of Churches, Bossey Fulltext: pdf\u00a0(260 KB) pg. 93-106 Abstract Politics and media development in our days is terrifying.
