Bible of the Oppressed

by Elsa Tamez

Book Overview

Why haven't we North American biblical scholars done such a systematic study of the words for oppression in the Bible? If the answer is that we who possess the critical skills are not ourselves oppressed or identified with communities of the oppressed, then it becomes imperative that we listen all the more carefully to these voices from the South. -- Walter Wink, Professor Emeritus of Biblical Interpretation, Auburn Theological Seminary, New York...

Excellent example of liberation theology

Although this books gets pretty technical with regards to biblical exegesis, it is an excellent example of early Latin American liberation theolgoy and liberationist hermenutics. Written by one of most well known Latin American women theologians. Well worth reading. Very good as a religon course text.
