A Guide to Liberation Theology for Middle-Class Congregations

This book is a guide to understanding both liberation thought and its implications for the unpoor. It argues that our captivities are directly tied to the desperate conditions of the marginalized, both those in the Third World and those in our midst. The theme of the book is "proclamation of the good news of the saving wholeness offered in Jesus Christ." The author believes that Christians can work for true liberation while working within the democratic system.
