Description
The life of Gutiérrez has spanned nearly a century and it is now over fifty years since the publication of his most famous work A Theology of Liberation. In his theological reflection and his pastoral action Gustavo Gutiérrez profoundly shaped the church in which he has ministered and the communities in which he has served. He is not only a significant figure within Latin American theology, but his influence has been felt in the theology and practice of the church around the world. For the first time offering an examination of Gutierrez’s theology as a complete and systematic whole, 'Gustavo Gutiérrez and the Liberative Sight of Christ' explores how Gutiérrez presents the person, work, and presence of Christ and asks whether his Christology is consistent with his own convictions and stable enough to support the weight that his theological project calls for it to bear.
