Description: The liberation theology of Juan Luis Segundo, S.J., is examined in light of Segundo's own evangelical commitment to connect "faith" and "works." This book argues that the principal thesis of Segundo's theology is that faith and faith works (defined as either "love" or "ideology") need to be distinguished, but not separated; a Pauline connection that has been severely overlooked in contemporary theology. Contents: Introduction; THE FAITH THAT WORKS; Juan Luis Segundo's Theology of "Faith" and "Faith's Works"; Biblical Hermeneutics, Revelation, and Pauline Theology; THE FAITH THAT WORKS IN DISPUTE; Segundo's Theology in the Context of Contemporary Catholic and Protestant Theology; Segundo and Luther on "Faith" and "Faith Works"; FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FAITH THAT WORKS; The Inherent Problems in Segundo's Theological Presupposition; Conclusion: Toward Dialogue on the Relationship Between "Faith" and "Faith Works"; Appendix: The Life and Works of Juan Luis Segundo, S.J. ("from 1925 to 1994").
Description: Sermons for Subversives represents a radical, clarion call to those who claim to follow Jesus to finish his liberation ministry. It is argued that anything less than all-out revolutionary organizing and agitating work among the poor and oppressed by those who name the Name amounts to counterrevolutionary behavior which only serves the interests of the wealthy elites-the power bases of our modern day antichrists. In addition, this collection reflects the "other sheep" theory: the view that those who do liberation ministry without wearing or even believing in a religious label are still part of God's global plan for the liberation of all oppressed people everywhere.
