The liberating work of God calls the oppressed out of oppression
and the oppressor out of oppressing. The challenge in seeking a
thorough liberation of oppressors is to help them understand their
need for freedom and how to seek this freedom in their own
contexts. Patrick Oden provides a holistic biblical, historical,
and theological analysis that diagnoses the underlying motivations
and inclinations that lead to oppression. Part one addresses the
context of oppression, in which most participants in oppression do
not actively seek to harm others but are caught up in systems that
tend toward the diminishment of others. Part two examines the
biblical and early Christian response to oppression, discovering a
thread that avoids condemning participation in society generally
while also cautioning the people of God about being co-opted by
society. Part three discusses how oppressors can withdraw from
oppression, through a constructive analysis of four contemporary
theologians-Wolfhart Pannenberg, Jurgen Moltmann, Sarah Coakley,
and Jean Vanier-each of whom contributes to a widening vision of
liberated and liberating life in which the once-oppressed and
former oppressor can find peace together in community.
