Beyond Liberation Theology

From the ruins of promised liberations that cruelly oppressed the poor, the authors turn our attention to an authentic liberation — spiritual, economic, and political — that is informed by the gospel of Christ the Liberator. — Richard John Neuhaus Past adherents of [liberation] theology would do well to attend to these arguments simply because, as the authors so compellingly observe, the lives of millions of the poor and oppressed are at stake. — Michael Cromartie, research fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington, D.C. The authors concentrate on the really important issue — what kind of liberation theology does the world really need? It needs a political theology based in the Bible and on sensible politics and economics, they say. It’s hard to dispute that. This is an excellent and much needed book. — Clark Pinnock, professor of Christian interpretation, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario
