To the many people in hopeless situations today, especially in
Central America, Tamez brings a message of hope and affirmation
through the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Embedded in the New Testament is a five-chapter uprising known as
the Epistle of James. This provocative, and often overlooked letter
is the founding document of liberation theology--the theology that
seeks to preserve Jesus' "preferential option for the poor." Now
with a detailed study guide, this book can be used by Christians
everywhere to study the radical message of James and reflect on
what it means to be a true Christian.
"This study explores the meaning of justification in the framework
of Latin American theology of liberation, which is a particular way
of doing theology welcomed by both Catholics and Protestants. In
this theology, the poor, 'oppressed and believing, ' constitute the
privileged locus of theology. That is to say, theology is done from
their reality of oppression-liberation and their experience of God.
Every great theological theme, every biblical reading, must be
reexamined from that angle of vision." (from the Introduction, by
Elsa Tamez)
