Summary/Abstract: In this article the basic Foucault’s thesis about parrhesia is presented. It is then analysed regarding how it is verified when it comes to Christianity, and especially the New Testament. The focus is Jesus's parrhesia as an everyday practice (speech and life harmonised as opposed to hypocrisy). Next, questions regarding the interpretation of parrhesia in theology and in the institutional Church, where parrhesia sometimes is absent in everyday practice as the production of truth, is opened.
