Summary: These essays offer a probing entry into the work of one of Latin America's deepest and most challenging proponents of liberation theology. Editor Alfred Hennelly has selected and briefly introduces the most important and representative of Juan Luis Segundo's voluminous writings from the last 20 years; most of them never before available in English. At once insightful and polemical, Segundo is drawn to the thick of today's theological controversies. He explores such areas as christology, revelation, the option for the poor, the future of liberation theology, Ignatian spirituality, and the meaning of the recent quincentenary of Columbus' arrival in the "New World."
