Book excerpt: A young Spanish theologian with years of experience in El Salvador has reflected deeply on the legacy of liberation theology, both its intrinsic strengths as well as its historical limitations. In these probing essays, available for the first time in English, Gonzalez returns to the essential insights of liberation theology-the perspective of the poor and the primacy of praxis-grounding them in a fresh reading of Scripture as well as a realistic understanding of the new global context. Offering compelling new insights into this influential theology, The Gospel of Faith and Justice demonstrates how to live a radical Christianity, faithful to Jesus' integration of faith and the call to social transformation.
