Liberation theology has, since its beginnings over forty years ago,
placed the poor at the heart of theology and revealed the
ideologies underlying both society and church. Meanwhile, over this
period, the progressive church appears to have stagnated and the
poor of Latin America have turned increasingly to
neo-Pentecostalism. 'The Poor in Liberation Theology' questions
whether the effect of liberation theology is to provide a pathway
to God or really to construct idols out of the poor. Combining the
conceptual language of the philosophers Jean-Luc Marion and
Emmanuel Levinas with the methodology of the liberation theologian
Clodovis Boff, the volume outlines how liberation theology can work
to ensure the poor do not become an ideological construct but
remain icons of God. Drawing on a wealth of material from Latin
American and Europe, the book demonstrates the continuing validity
and importance of liberation theology and its further potential
when engaged with contemporary philosophy.
