Free At Last, Free Indeed: Christian Thinking on Liberation
What does Christianity offer oppressed people? What’s wrong with a “preferential option for the poor and vulnerable?” What does liberation mean? Doesn’t Jesus endorse an agenda of liberation in Luke 4:17-21 as he claims to fulfill the Prophet Isaiah’s saying, “The spirit of the lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the lord?” The matter is complicated by the politics of race, the politics of wealth, a dalliance with socialism & a liberal rise of historical criticism vivisecting the Scriptural witness.
Lindsay Brooks hosts a discussion with Pastor Ken Jones of Greater Union Baptist Church and Associate Pastor Darryl McKillian of ACTS: A Church That Studies on the subject of how a global and omni-cultural Church that is expressed in local bodies should approach Liberation Theology, Black Liberation Theology and the Social Gospel.
