Description

A Preference for the Poor tells the tale of Latin American Liberation Theology in a succinct and scholarly, yet readable way. Writer Manfred Bahmann highlights the emphases of major Latin American liberation theologians; the upward thrust of military dictatorships; the pope’s course correction in his 1975 encyclica “Evangelii Nuntiandi,” fleshed out at the 1979 Latin American Episcopal Council (C.E.L.A.M.) conference in Puebla; and the movement’s decline with the collapse of worldwide Marxism. Following a description of the outstanding growth of Pentecostalism at the traditionally Roman Catholic continent, Dr. Bahmann posits a Protestant view of a new Liberation Theology built on a non secular foundation for Christian believers inside a world of worldwide capitalism.
