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.
"Here we have an excellent introduction to some of the major latin American liberation theologians, written from the perspective of a North American evangelical. It provides us with a fine example of the present cutting edge of evangelistic studies. ... Pope-Levison formulates an agenda for evangelistic studies that merits serious consideration. ... (This volume) establishes the author as a significant new colleague, and sets some important compass headings for class-room and congregation alike." (David Lowes Watson, Journal of the Academy for Evangelism in Theological Education)
"...this is an original compilation and a readable introduction to Liberation Theology from the angle of evangelization, useful for courses on both areas. It was written by a United Methodist pastor who wants to go beyond the usual dichotomies between proclamation and the works for justice in this world." (Mortimer Arias)
