Liberation Theology and Sexuality shows how Christianity in Latin America needs to take into account issues concerning sexuality and poverty, together with traditional forms of religiosity and culture when reflecting on the construction of Christian faith and identity in the continent. In this unique and ground-breaking book, Marcella Althaus-Reid presents a unique combination of Latin American theologians, reflecting on the ongoing project of the liberation of theology from economic, political and sexual oppressions in Latin America.
Liberation Theology and Sexuality, now available in paperback and with a new preface by Ivan Petrella, reflects the work of a new generation of liberation theologians developing a theology that offers a wider and more complex critique of reality, with new perspectives on issues of sexuality, race, gender, culture, globalization and new forms of popular religion.
