Gustavo Gutierrez and the Liberative Sight of Christ

How can we speak of God as Father in a world that is inhumane? While many engagements with Gutierrez's theology centre on such themes as the option for the poor, the role of praxis, or the Kingdom of God, in Gustavo Gutierrez and the Liberative Sight of Christ Luke Foster explores the underlying theological convictions and commitments within which these concepts cohere. By developing an analysis that is attentive to the unity and coherence of Gutierrez's thought, Foster resources a critique that is distinctive not only in its pertinence but also in the possibilities that it opens for the development of his project in the future. Innovatively offering a systemic account of Gutierrez's theology, this book offers both an indispensable overview for those who are engaging with Gutierrez for the first time and a distinctive analysis for those who are seeking to deepen their understanding of his work.
