With this book Aloysius Pieris confronts two the most urgent and complex questions facing Christianity today so many poor people and so many religious. The approaches of the Christian Churches to these questions, he believes, will determine whether Christianity will continue to have any relevance for Asia or not. The nine essays, stemming from the problems encountered in working with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council in Asia, focus on three areas Poverty and Liberation; Religion and Liberation; and Theology of Liberation in Asia.
