Option for the Poor: The Basic Principle of Liberation Theology in the Light of the Bible (Berkeley Lecture Series ; 1) - Softcover
Synopsis
In this transcript of the Bailey Lectures given at Berkeley in March and April 1986, one of Europe's outstanding biblical scholars presents the first major study by a biblical scholar of one of the most important and most controversial phrases in contemporary theology. These lectures present a moving and scholarly account of the biblical notion of God's love for the poor. After showing that this concept was prominent among Israel's neighbors, Lohfink examines its unique meaning in the Old and New Testaments, and its affinity to and difference from liberation theology. Second edition.

About the Author
Norbert Lohfink, SJ, has long been known in professional circles world wide, but it has only been the translation of several of his German works into English that have introduced him to a wider American audience. Who's Who in Biblical Studies devotes considerable space to his academic achievements. His degrees: Licentiate in Philosophy from Munich in 1957, Licentiate in Theology from Frankfort in 1957, and Doctorate in Biblical Studies from the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome in 1963. He has published more than twenty books and hundreds of articles and reviews. In addition to his academic activities, for many years he has associated himself with the "Integrierte Gemeinde," a group of some 500 Munich Christians concerned with biblical, liturgical, and community renewal.
