The 15th
Anniversary edition of the publication in English of the work that
more than any other has formed and directed the worldwide discussion
of liberation theology.
In addition to
re-editing for inclusive language, Fr. Gutierrez himself revised a
key section of his masterwork, and added a new essay that reviews the
evolution of liberation theology, delineating key themes of the
present and future. As he writes in this new essay, "My book is
a love letter to God, to the church and to the people to which I
belong. Love remains alive, but grows deeper and changes its manner
of expression."
What Time magazine
has called a "seminal" work, A Theology of Liberation
remains the single most lucid, direct and powerful statement of the
heart of liberation theology.
