Jesus Christ Liberator is a balanced, critical theological work which relates the main contemporary currents in New Testament criticism with Christology as taught in systematic Theology. Placing theology in the context of real social experience, the author underlines the dynamism in the life, message and the practical activity of the historical Jesus. It is a liberation that is not only from personal sin but also from the sins of society-from the dehumanizing effects of poverty, injustice and oppression. While the dominant classes have understood Christ in terms of themselves, the suffering and oppressed classes have understood him in the preaching of the kingdom in terms of a social revolution. It was to them he announced the good news of liberation.
