Expanding the View: Gustavo Gutierrez and the Future of Liberation Theology by M

Description: Expanding the View by Marc H. Ellis, Otto Maduro In 1988, many of the worlds leading theologians gathered at Maryknoll to honor Gustavo Gutierrez, the ""father of liberation theology."" The occasion marked the twentieth anniversary of the Medellin conference, Gutierrezs sixtieth birthday, and publication of a new edition of his enduring classic, A Theology of Liberation. The resulting volume, The Future of Liberation Theology, included over fifty papers presented at that historic gathering. Expanding the View takes key essays from that landmark volume and makes them available for the first time in paperback. From the wealth of material, essays were selected to provide the most comprehensive overview of critical thinking on liberation theology--both its past developments and the challenges it faces in the future. Among the issues addressed: the ways liberation theology has grown and developed in its treatment of popular religion, Marxism, and womens issues, and the contribution of liberation theology to interreligious dialogue, Catholic social teaching, and the struggle for human rights. Critical questions are raised about the future possibilities of liberation theology. Above all, many of the contributors assess the significance of this theology from the Third World for Christians living in the affluent First World. Ideal for classroom use, and essential reading for everyone interested in this vital movement, this volume includes Gutierrezs own ""Expanding the View,"" which introduces the fifteenth anniversary edition of A Theology of Liberation.
