This book provides an excellent and succinct description and evaluation of all the major schools of liberation theologies. The author, who teaches theology at Fordham University, begins with the pioneering contributions of Latin American theologians Gustavio Guiterrez and Juan Luis Segundo and then moves on to the feminist theology of liberation, the black theology of liberation in the United States, Hispanic-American liberation theology, African liberation theology, Asian theologies of liberation, liberation theology in the first world, an ecotheology of liberation for the whole world, and a liberation theology of the world religions. What they all share is a preference for experiential theology, a love of justice, and a rigorous activism against racism, sexism, nationalism, militarism, terrorism, and the violation of human rights.
