What it is
Theology reframed as critical reflection on Christian practice in the light of the word, written from Peru and arguing that God's preferential option for the poor is not an application of the gospel but part of its content.
Why it lasted
The founding text of liberation theology, which reshaped the church across Latin America and drew both wide influence and sustained official scrutiny.
Scripture it works from
Where to read it
Still in copyright. The Library describes it and points you at it; the text belongs to its publisher.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
