"I do not think there any issues on the theological and human scene more important than the ones libration theologians are raising," says this author. In this book he explores how we can respond to them without condescension, arrogance, or co-optation. He surveys in detail the kind of challenges to North American Christians issued by South American theologians. He then calls upon the church to work to make itself what it ought t o be and to take sides politically in support of human rights.
