Abstract

In this pioneering work, Dr. Pope-Levison marshalls an enormous amount of material on the topic of evangelization in Latin American liberation theology. By analyzing the writings of ten theologians, she demonstrates convincingly that evangelization serves uniquely as a bridge between theology and praxis. This study is indispensable for students of contextual theology and evangelization. In addition, the introductory discussion of evangelization in recent documents from the Roman Catholic Church and the World Council of Churches renders this an invaluable tool for ecumenical studies as well.
