Book Description
This is the credo and seminal text of the movement which was later characterised as liberation theology. The book burst upon the theological scene in the early seventies, and was swiftly acknowledged as a pioneering and prophetic approach to theology which famously made an option for the poor, placing the exploited, the alienated, and the economically wretched at the centre of a programme where 'the oppressed and maimed and blind and lame' were prioritised at the expense of those who are either maintained the status quo or who abused the structures of power for their own ends. This powerful, compassionate, and radical book attracted criticsm for daring to mix politics and religion in so explicit a manner, but was also welcomed by those who had the capacity to see that its agenda was nothing more nor less than to give 'good news to the poor', and redeem God's people from bondage.
