How is theology liberating? In this post-Gorbachev world in which
many demand freedom, and which the West seems ill-equipped to
deliver, can we even envisage a liberative theology? Taking as his
starting point the Marxist complaint that Christianity is
ideological, Dr Scott argues that it is not enough for Christian
theology to talk about liberation. It must be liberative. Stressing
with feminist and liberation theologies the embodied, contextual
nature of theology, the constructive proposal made here locates
God's liberating abundance towards society in an interpretation of
resurrection as social. Only in this way can a trinitarian
Christian account of liberation be adequately grounded. This study
will be of interest to those who wish to know if theology may speak
truthfully about the transformation of society. In a period of
crisis and hope, the book offers the shape of a liberative theology
that might nerve Christian practice towards social freedom.
