Guti駻rez wrote, \"based on the gospel and the experiences of men and women committed to the process of liberation in the oppressed land of Latin America.\" It was \"born of the experience of shared efforts to abolish the current unjust situation and to build a different society, freer and more human.\" Yet its influence was quickly felt around the world, inspiring numerous offshoots, as well as provoking critical reactions, both inside and outside the Church. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Theology of Liberation \u003c\/i\u003ehas won wide acclaim as one of the most influential works of Christian theology of the last century. Yet Guti駻rez himself concluded the book by noting that any theology of liberation \"is not worth one act of genuine solidarity with exploited social classes. They are not worth one act of faith, love, and hope committed . . . in active participation to liberate humankind from everything that dehumanizes it and prevents it from living according to the will of God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$32.00\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Theology \/ Liberation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGustavo Guti駻rez\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA THEOLOGY OF LIBERATION\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistory, Politics, and Salvation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e50\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Anniversary Edition\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne \u003ci\u003eof Christianity Today's\u003c\/i\u003e Top 100 Books of the Twentieth Century\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eChurch Times\u003c\/i\u003e (UK) Top 100 Christian Books of All Time\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"One of the best books of its kind ever written.\"--\u003ci\u003eAmerica\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The movement's most influential text.\"--\u003ci\u003eTime \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eORBIS LOGO \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN 978-1-62698-541-4 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover photo: Joseph Vail, MM; sculpture by Peruvian artist Edilberto Merida\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover design: Ponie Sheehan\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGustavo Guti駻rez, OP\u003c\/b\u003e, a native of Peru, was educated in Lima, Chile, and at the Catholic University of Louvain.
