Beyond Liberation Theology
Ronald H. Nash and Humberto Belli

From the ruins of promised liberations that cruelly oppressed the poor, the authors turn our attention to an authentic liberation -- spiritual, economic, and political -- that is informed by the gospel of Christ the Liberator. -- Richard John Neuhaus

Past adherents of [liberation] theology would do well to attend to these arguments simply because, as the authors so compellingly observe, the lives of millions of the poor and oppressed are at stake. -- Michael Cromartie, research fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington, D.C.

The authors concentrate on the really important issue -- what kind of liberation theology does the world really need? It needs a political theology based in the Bible and on sensible politics and economics, they say. It's hard to dispute that. This is an excellent and much needed book. -- Clark Pinnock, professor of Christian interpretation, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario

Ronald Nash is professor of philosophy at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Among Nash's many works are Social Justice and the Christian Church and Christian Faith and Historical Understanding. Humberto Belli holds graduate degrees in law and sociology and is former editorial-page editor of La Prensa.
