Description
Christian theology is shaped by its context, and this is evident in five forms of liberation theology: Latin American Liberation Theologies, Black Theologies, Feminist Informed Theologies, Sexual Theologies, and Body Theologies. Angela Pears explores how each of these approaches asserts a connection to the Christian tradition through biblical interpretation and Christology. Pears examines whether these contextual theologies lead to a relativistic understanding of Christianity or if they share a common identity despite their local focus. This book provides a clear survey of contemporary liberation theology, offering students a sound understanding of how contextual theology operates in practice.
