Marcella Althaus-Reid has drawn together a number of the most exciting Liberation Theologians currently working in Latin America and beyond whose work offers a wider and more complex critique of reality which is prepared to engage with issues of sexuality, race, gender, culture, globalization and new forms of popular piety. The contributors show that Christianity in Latin America cannot avoid taking into account and engaging with issues concerning sexuality and poverty when reflecting on the construction of Christian faith and identity. They represent Liberation Theology in motion: dynamic, unsettling, still struggling with orthodoxy while engaging in the broad struggle for justice that includes sexual justice. This is the paperback edition of a ground-breaking book by one of the UK's most interesting theologians of the current generation.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    An author of one of the eleven chapters in this collection of essays is among those who are 'very critical of Theology of Liberation' (p. 169); indeed, it has 'died (p.170). However, others, including the publisher, insist that Christianity in Latin America needs to take into account issues about sexuality and poverty. These papers are concerned with 'the ongoing project of the liberation of theology from economic and sexual oppressions' (publisher's comment), and 'represent Liberation Theology in motion: dynamic, unsettling, still struggling with orthodoxy while engaging in the broad struggle for justice that includes sexual justice.' (p. 3, 'Introduction' by the editor who died early in 2009). This is, in the best sense, an unsettling and provocative book, which is recommended if one wishes to explore how Liberation Theology is developing. Views and interpretations are presented which may shock many Christians. Yet the authors make carefully considered points from their own experiences as people, as Christians and, for a number, as Ministers. The final paragraph of the book expresses the hope that there will develop an inclusive church 'without barriers of class, race or sexualities....a church of equal and yet different people loving God and working towards the Kingdom of God amongst us.' (p. 187). Each chapter ends with 'Notes' and some have a bibliography ('References'). There is an 'Index'.
