How can we speak of God as Father in a world that is inhumane? While
many engagements with Gutiérrez's theology centre on such themes as the
option for the poor, the role of praxis, or the Kingdom of God, in
Gustavo Gutiérrez and the Liberative Sight of Christ Luke Foster
explores the underlying theological convictions and commitments within
which these concepts cohere.
By developing an analysis that is attentive to the unity and coherence
of Gutiérrez's thought, Foster resources a critique that is distinctive
not only in its pertinence but also in the possibilities that it opens
for the development of his project in the future. Innovatively offering a
systemic account of Gutiérrez's theology, this book offers both an
indispensable overview for those who are engaging with Gutiérrez for the
first time and a distinctive analysis for those who are seeking to
deepen their understanding of his work.
