Controversies in Political Theology addresses the question of
whether Christians should be struggling towards development or
liberation. It explores the theologies of development and
liberation, from their beginnings in the 1960s through their
changes to the central arguments today. The contrasts are examined
in the practice of faith-based aid agencies. The understanding of
how to practice justice differs widely for development theology and
liberation theology. Whilst the theology of development remain
focused on the economic realm, on trade and consumption, the
theology of liberation expands the discussion beyond the economic
realm to deal with politics, race, gender and culture more
generally. These different concepts of justice lead to very
different actions in communities around the world. This book
provides students with access to an in-depth view of these
practices in a clear and concise context. The book looks not only
at the theologies themselves but also how they came to emerge, and
how they stand in contrast across the globe today. Full Text -
