Antinomianism, meaning lawlessness, is the idea that members of a particular religious group ascribe to a theology that effectively removes any obligation to obey the laws of ethics or morality. Antinomianism is viewed as the polar opposite of legalism, the notion that obedience to a code of religious law is necessary for salvation. It comes from the Greek anti + nomia (against law) or anomia, which literally means lawlessness.

abstract
  • Antinomianism, meaning lawlessness, is the idea that members of a particular religious group ascribe to a theology that effectively removes any obligation to obey the laws of ethics or morality. Antinomianism is viewed as the polar opposite of legalism, the notion that obedience to a code of religious law is necessary for salvation. It comes from the Greek anti + nomia (against law) or anomia, which literally means lawlessness. Few people or religious groups would explicitly call themselves "antinomian," hence, it is usually used in a pejorative sense as a charge leveled by one group against an opposing group.
