Does theology liberate only bodies with official desires,
well-scrubbed skin, and sober clothing? Might it bring good news to
the rest to madwomen of all sexes, dancers in smoky bars, devotees
of disreputable saints? Marcella Altahus-Reid insisted on asking
such questions sharply, unflinchingly, but with unfeigned joy. She
shows us still how to answer them. --Mark D. Jordan, Richard
Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Divinity, Harvard Divinity School.
Marcella Althaus-Reid has drawn together a number of the most
exciting Liberation Theologians currently working in Latin America
and beyond, whose work offers a wider and more complex critique of
reality which is prepared to engage with issues of sexuality, race,
gender, culture, globalization and new forms of popular piety. The
contributors show that Christianity in Latin America cannot avoid
taking into account and engaging with issues concerning sexuality
and poverty when reflecting on the construction of Christian faith
and identity. They represent Liberation Theology in motion:
dynamic, unsettling, still struggling with orthodoxy while engaging
in the broad struggle for justice that includes sexual justice.
