Cambridge Companion to Liberation Theology Rowland Christopher
Liberation theology is widely referred to in discussions of politics and religion but not always adequately understood. Additional essays, which complement those in the original edition, expand upon the issues by dealing with gender and sexuality and the important matter of epistemology. The 2007 edition of this Companion brings the story of the movement's continuing importance and impact up to date.
These essays indicate its continuing importance in different contexts and enable readers to locate its distinctive intellectual ethos within the evolving contextual and cultural concerns of theology and religious studies. In the light of a more conservative ethos in Roman Catholicism, and in theology generally, liberation theology is often said to have been an intellectual movement tied to a particular period of ecumenical and political theology. This book will be of interest to students of theology as well as to sociologists, political theorists and historians.
