LIBERATION THEOLOGY

Fra Clodovis Boff, after being one of the pioneers of Liberation Theology in Brazil and becoming disillusioned with the movement, turned into one of its most fearless and critical dissidents. He identified a fatal fundamental error in this trend (which was more Marxist than theological)—namely, the placement of the poor in the role of Christ. This central idea guides all his critiques of liberation theologians, meticulously compiled in this book by Father Leandro Rasera Adorno. Following Fra Boff, we will see how the so-called liberation theologians ceased to keep Jesus Christ at the center of their thoughts and lives.
