Informationen zum Autor Daniel G. Groody is associate professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame. He is the editor with Gustavo Gutiérrez of The Preferential Option for the Poor beyond Theology (2013) and, with Gioacchino Campese, A Promised Land, A Perilous Journey: Theological Perspectives on Migration (2008), both published by the University of Notre Dame Press. Klappentext Since the 1973 publication of Gustavo Gutiérrez's groundbreaking work A Theology of Liberation! liberation theology's central premise of the preferential option for the poor has become one of the most important yet controversial theological themes of the twentieth century. As the situation for many of the world's poor worsens! it becomes ever more important to ensure that the option for the poor remains not only a vibrant theological concept but also a practical framework for living out the gift and challenge of Christian faith. The Preferential Option for the Poor beyond Theology draws on a diverse group of contributors to explore how disciplines as varied as law! economics! politics! the environment! science! liberal arts! film! and education can help us understand putting a commitment to the option for the poor into practice. The central focus of the book revolves around the question: How can one live a Christian life in a world of destitution? The contributors address the theological concept of the option for the poor as well as the ways it can shape our social! economic! political! educational! and environmental approaches to poverty. Their creative examples serve as an inspiration to all those who are seeking to put their talents at the service of human need and the building of a more just and humane world.
