In the chaos that is Latin American politics, what role does the Catholic church play with regard to its clergy and its members? How does the church function in Latin America on an everyday, practical level? And how successful has the church been intervening in political matters despite the fact that Latin American countries are essentially Catholic nations? Philip Berryman addresses these timely and challenging issues in this comprehensive.Unlike journalistic accounts, which all too frequently portray liberation theology as an exotic brew of Marxism and Christianity or as a movement of rebel priests bent on challenging church authority, this book aims to get beyond these cliches, to explain exactly what liberation theology is, how it arose, how it works in practice, and its implications. The book also examines how liberation theology functions at the village or barrio level, the political impact of liberation theology, and the major objections to it posed by critics, concluding with a tentative assessment of the future of liberation theology. Author note: Phillip Berryman was a pastoral worker in a barrio in Panama during 1965-73. From 1976 to 1980, he served as a representative for the American Friends Service Committee in Central America. In 1980, he returned from Guatemala to the United States and now lives in Philadelphia.

Liberation theology is widely referred to in discussions of politics and religion but not always adequately understood. This Companion offers an introduction to the history and characteristics of liberation theology in its various forms in different parts of the world. Authors from four continents examine the emergence and character of liberation theology in Latin America; black theology; Asian theology; and the new situation arising from the end of the apartheid regime in South Africa. The major Christian Church's attitude to liberation theology, and the extent of the movement's indebtedness to Marxism, are examined; and a political theologian writing from another perspective of Christian theology offers an evaluation. Through a sequence of eleven chapters readers are given a comprehensive description and evaluation of the different facets of this important theological and social movement. There is also an Introduction relating liberation theology to the history of theology, and a Select Bibliography.

Liberation theology emerged as a response to the historical reality of Latin American political and economic problems with the purpose of bringing justice and liberation to the masses. This investigation concludes that liberation theology, in spite of its timeliness and virtues, has to a large extent neglected the transcendent, due to its absorbing preoccupation with the historical, and has emptied the Gospel of much of its saving content.

There is a notion amongst some academics that Latin American Liberation Theology has had its day, a dream killed off by the Nicaraguan and Salvadoran revolutions, the 1989 demise of socialism and the "end of history" claims of the champions of capitalism. However in this book Petrella proves this to be an ill-conceived notion, and shows that this theology can be reinvented to bring its preferential option for the poor into the real world. The actualisation of historical projects is possible by adopting the methods developed by the Brazilian champion of critical legal studies, Robert Unger. Doing so will entail the rejection of these theologians' unitary concepts of a despised and rejected capitalism and a canonized and accepted socialism. Petrella argues for a reconstruction of these concepts and those of democracy and property too. He closely analyses the differences in democracy and capitalism as practised across the USA and Europe in support for the reconstruction of these concepts bringing about far-reaching suggestions for the future of liberation theology.

Brown explains and illuminates liberation theology for North American readers who may have no previous knowledge of this recent dynamic Christian movement. Growing out of the experience of oppressed people in Latin America, liberation theology lends a transforming power to both the study of the Bible and the Christian duty to work for justice for all God's people.

This book explores liberation theology, a fusion of Christian theology and socio-economic theory, which stresses "Social concern for the poor and political liberation of oppressed peoples." Liberation theology became Latin American theologians' political practice, such as Gustavo Gutiérrez, Leonardo Boff, and Jesuits Juan Luis Seg and Jesuits Juan Luis Seg in the 1960s after the Second Vatican Council. In 1968 and shortly afterward, General Pedro Arrupe selected "Justice in the World" for the World Synod of Catholic Bishops 1971. liberation theologies have formed in other areas of the globe, such as the U.S. and South Africa black theology, Palestinian liberation theology, India's Dalit theology, and South Korea's Minjung theology. Although the Medellín text is not a document of liberation theology, it laid the foundations for most of it, and liberation theology developed rapidly in the Latin American Catholic Church after it was written. Robin Nagle argues that the theology of liberation is inadequate for genuine social reform. Anthropologist Manuel Vasquez argues that the theology of liberation introduced by CEBs produces a double impact since it gives the theological rationale for the opposition and acts to coordinate resistance. In the intellectual fusion between liberation theology and Sandinismo, the influence of liberation theologians within the FSLN regime, and the interrelated support for liberation theology and the FSLN within the Nicaraguan population, ranging from metropolitan people to eccentric residents, this partnership, which reached its height in the early years of FSLN rule following the Nicaraguan Revolution, is observed. Voices of black liberation theology and female liberation theology are also found more or less around the same period as the original Latin American liberation theology publications. Black theology aims to free communities of color from different political, societal, economic, and theological subjugation and sees Christian theology as a salvation theology-"a rational study of the being of God in the world considering the existential situation of an oppressed community, relating the forces of liberation to the essence of the Gospel, which is Jesus Christ," writes Jam.

This volume puts Barth and liberation theologies in critical and constructive conversation. With incisive essays from a range of noted scholars, it forges new connections between Barth's expansive corpus and the multifaceted world of Christian liberation theology. It shows how Barth and liberation theologians can help us to make sense of – and perhaps even to respond to – some of the most pressing issues of our day: race and racism in the United States; changing understandings of sex, gender, and sexuality; the ongoing degradation of the ecosphere; the relationship between faith, theological reflection, and the arts; the challenge of decolonizing Christian thought; and ecclesial and political life in the Global South.

Liberation theology originated in Catholic Latin America at the end of the 1960s in response to prevalent conditions of poverty and oppression. Its basic tenet was that it is the primary duty of the church to seek to promote social and economic justice. Since that time it has grown in influence, spreading to other areas of the Third World, along with bitter controversy about its ties to Marxist ideology and violent revolution. Drawing on both English and Spanish sources, this critical study examines the history, method, and doctrines of liberation theology. Sigmund considers the movement's origins in political circumstances in Latin America and provides case studies of its role in such events as the revolution and counter-revolution in Chile, and in the revolutionary movements in El Salvador and Nicaragua. Examining the thought of major liberation theologians, as well as the critical responses of the Vatican, Sigmund shows that liberation theology is a complex phenomenon, comprising a variety of kinds and degrees of radicalism. He discerns a general trend away from the Marxist rhetoric that has often characterized the movement in the past and towards the kind of grassroots populist reform typified by the Basic Christian Communities Movement.
