Synopsis: The Liberating Mission of Jesus deals with the central
message of the Gospel of Luke, provocatively arguing that the
liberating mission of Jesus has two central themes: the
universality of the love of God and the special love God has for
the defenseless of society. Both of these pillars form the bedrock
of Luke's theological vision, animate his Gospel throughout, and
summarize the good news of the reign of God in subversive and
radical form. This book shows how the liberating message announced
by Jesus, as well as his liberating practice, is manifested
throughout the Gospel and its implications for Christian life
today. Through this thorough treatment, the full depth of Luke's
vision of the liberating mission of Jesus is shown to be a paradigm
for the personal and collective witness of believers, regardless of
the social, political, cultural, or religious boundaries that try
to inhibit them from giving witness to the God of life.
Endorsements: "I am deeply grateful for Dario Lopez Rodriguez's
fantastic work on the liberating mission of Jesus, for he has
provided us with a crucial and persuasive biblical call to work for
peace, justice, empowerment, and liberation. I will continue to
require it in my classes and I highly recommend it." --Paul
Alexander Professor of Christian Ethics & Public Policy, Palmer
Theological Seminary, Eastern University Editor of Pentecostals and
Peacemaking (2009) and Christ at the Checkpoint (2012) "I have used
this book as a study text in my teaching in the Americas and
Europe, especially in courses dedicated to the foundations and
understanding of Christian mission in the twenty-first century. An
important reference point for men and women that approach the text
of Luke today is that the author of this work is not a classroom
academic, but a Pentecostal pastor that lives on the frontiers of
service to the poor. This second edition has been enriched with new
chapters, and at various points the author has corrected and
refined his treatment of the biblical text, also updating
references to bibliographical sources. All of this will be of great
help to scholars who wish to deepen their understanding of the
Third Gospel, beginning with the missiological and pastoral
fundamentals that Dr. Lopez offers us with such clarity." --from
