Description

This study provides a hitherto unknown perspective of the origin and the influence of Latin American Liberation Theology. In contrast to most others studies, Schilling understands Liberation Theology not only as a result of theological discourse within the Catholic Church, but shows in detail its ecumenical and transnational character. She focuses on the interdependence of Latin American Protestantism and the World Council of Churches in the 1960s and 1970s as well as the emergence of global awareness of the churches.
