We develop a proof theory of the lambda calculus where we study the set of closed lambda terms by inductively defining the set as a free algebra. The novelty of the approach is that we construct and study lambda calculus without using the notions of variables and alpha-equivalence. In this approach we can study lambda terms as combinators and can have a clean proof of the Church-Rosser Theorem in the Minlog proof assistant.
