This work deals with the basic questions that are tackled by liberation theology - oppression, violence, domination and marginalization. It then goes on to show how the Christian faith can be used as an agent in promoting social and individual liberation, and how faith and politics relate.

This little pamphlet, just under 100 pages, is a solid introduction to the tenets, history, and methods of liberation theology - a subset of Christianity which aims primarily at social justice, radical pacifism, and doing good works to empower and liberate the poor. Liberation theology has made significant inroads in Latin America, and aims for redress against systematic oppression which has existed since the time of Pizarro and Cortez. Practice over doctrine.
This book also addresses Marxism, making note of its useful terminology and analysis. It is a tool, but not the end. Interesting.
Of course, such teachings are unacceptable to Caesar and Pharaoh, and make them tremble. Reagan sent army troops and supported tinpot dictators to slaughter them, and the gilded Vatican condemned their theology. Perhaps more proof of their power and influence, and what good they might do.
I wish them all way more than luck. ( )
