Beskrivning

Liberation theology emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed. As a part of Christian theology, liberation theology has been most frequently associated with the Catholic Church in Latin America. This groundbreaking work seeks to identify how the theological concepts of liberation theology might be manifested within other world faith traditions.This is thus the first book that attempts to find a ""common ground"" for liberation theology across religions. All of the contributors are scholars who share the religion or belief system they describe. Throughout, they endeavor to articulate liberationist concepts from the perspective of those who have been marginalized.

This book opens a new chapter in the solidarity of diverse religions beyond religions, emphasizing the importance of interreligous orthopraxis over loyalties to religious orthodoxy. --Andrew Sung Park, United Theological Seminary
