Inhaltsangabe

In this first anthology of Gutierrez's massively influential work, James Nickoloff draws from Gutierrez's many published books and translates some pieces for the first time. Arranged both thematically and chronologically, the Selected Texts highlight not only the revolutionary import of Gutierrez's theology but also his deep and searching spirituality, his bold view of the church, and his personal challenge to the reader to engage the world's injustices directly.
Nickoloff's expert Introduction explains the development of Gutierrez's ideas and sheds new light on the Latin American, especially Peruvian, context of his thought.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gustavo Gutierrez, the "father of liberation theology," is a Peruvian priest of Indian descent. Gutierrez studied theology in Europe before returning to his native Lima to pen the epochal volume A Theology of Liberation, which first enunciated principles of this global theological movement: God's option for the poor, theology from the underside, the power of the poor in history, the importance of social analysis, the primacy of practice over theory.

James B. Nickoloff, who studied and worked with Gutierrez for two years, is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts.
