Liberation theology has become an essential component of almost every major debate over Latin America today. It has changed the face of political life in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Haiti; contributed to the rise of "people power" in the Philippines; even played a role in the growing discontent of debt-plagued Brazil.
Now, using the plainspoken approach the made his Inside Central Americathe indispensable book on currente affairs in the region, Phillip Berryman traces the origins, spread, and impact of liberation theology. He shows how its proponents hace radically reinterpreted basic Biblical themes (such as teh Creation, the Exodus, and the promised Kingdom of God) ghom the perspective of the poor and disenfranchised. By asking not "What must I believe?" but rather "What is to be done?" the make a direct connection between religious beliefes and political life. |
