I found this, the second in SCM’s Reclaiming Liberation Theology series, un-put-down-able.
Another Possible World is a collection of seventeen of the papers given at the first World Forum on Theology and Liberation, which took place in Brazil in January 2005. It was a meeting of many of the world’s foremost contextual and liberation theologians, the most important assembly of its type since the late 70s.
Closely linked to the World Social Forum, the contributors discussed the future of theology and our globe, and took a great step forward in speaking, not of a regional or continental liberation theology, but a world one. They committed themselves to identifying the most urgent human and ecological problems, discovering the causes of eco-human suffering, examining different religious expressions and giving an answer to challenges presented by poverty and religious/cultural pluralism, believing, in fact, that another world is possible.
The translations of the talks are consistently excellent and the book as a whole will surely be considered a seminal one in the years to come. It provides the basis of their agendas and vision for the future.You are reading Issue 43 of Ministry Today, published in August 2008.
