David Tombs offers an accessible introduction to the theological challenges raised by Latin American Liberation and a new contribution to how these challenges might be understood as a chronological sequence. Liberation theology emerged in the 1960s in Latin America and thrived until it reached a crisis in the 1990s. This work traces the distinct developments in thought through the decades, thus presenting a contextual theology. The book is divided into five main sections: the historical role of the church from Columbus's arrival in 1492 until the Cuban revolution of 1959; the reform and renewal decade of the 1960s; the transitional decade of the 1970s; the revision and redirection of liberation theology in the 1980s; and a crisis of relevance in the 1990s. This book offers insights into liberation theology's profound contributions for any socially engaged theology of the future and is crucial to understanding liberation theology and its legacies.

Van Vugt spent five years in Central America researching how local level democratic organizations operate so that previously disenfranchised members are empowered to oppose an oppressive central authority--and participate in a revolutionary reconstruction of society. He creates and then applies a model of democratic organization for social change to his findings regarding the way the literacy campaigns and Christian Based communities were organized in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Brazil. This study is valuable not only as an example of a scientific methodology for cultivating democratic organization for social change, but as an attempt to clarify the controversy over the role of the specific campaigns and organizations studied.
