Called to Freedom : Liberation Theology and the Future of Christian Doctrine
Outline : This groundbreaking work presents a stimulating and perceptive rethinking and restating of five basic Christian doctrines in the light of "liberation theology." As Dr. Migliore explains, "The theology of liberation is a challenge to Christians everywhere. It should be neither ignored nor dismissed as a passing theological fad. The ecumenical church should welcome this challenge to move toward a deeper understanding of and commitment to the gospel of freedom." CALLED TO FREEDOM reinterprets the doctrines of Scripture, Jesus Christ, God, the Christian life, and the Christian hope, not merely as a theological exercise, but "for the sake of more responsible Christian witness and life." It demonstrates profoundly that Christian doctrine comes alive when interpreted in relation to the struggles of people for freedom and that our human freedom has its ultimate source in the freedom of God for others manifested in Jesus Christ. "The freedom of Jesus is provocative and unsettling," says Dr. Migliore. "Those who follow him are compelled to ask again and again whether they rightly understand what it means to be free as God is free."
