In a manner that is vivid and lively, Robert McAfee Brown explains and illuminates liberation theology for North American readers who may have no previous knowledge of this dynamic Christian movement. Growing out of the experience of oppressed people in Latin America, liberation theology lends a transforming power to both the study of the Bible and the Christian duty to work for justice for all God's people. With heartwarming, terrifying, and humorous stories, Brown shows the strength and significance of one of the outstanding developments in religious faith today and for the future.

In Unexpected News, Robert McAfee Brown looks at ten biblical texts through a new lens. Brown's analysis is concerned with how our reading of the Bible is dependent on our experiences and worldview. Brown sets out to understand how "third world Christians," that is, Christians who live in poverty and powerlessness, interpret the Bible. Brown argues that by reading the Bible in new ways, we can learn more about other cultures as well as gain a new understanding of the biblical message.

In Saying Yes and No: On Rendering God to Caesar, Robert McAfee Brown confronts the delimma that exists when offical government policies seem to clash with ideas about God's kingdom of peace and justice. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter invite readers to make their own responses to the book's central question--a conflict of loyalties.

In this series of messages based on Scripture, Robert McAfee Brown demonstrates the vital applications of the Bible for our own times. Brown first deals with the great words of faith such as love, grace, and reconciliation. Then he includes a number of chapters that shed modern light on various events in Jesus' life and beyond. For instance, angels, as if in an advertising agency, plan for the visit of the three kings. Television news covers Passion week. Doubting Thomas in his old age recalls Jesus' resurrection. A third group of messages show the Bible addressing social issues such as sexuality and violence.

Studying such literary figures as Frederick Buechner, Albert Camus, George Dennison, Ursula Le Guin, C. S. Lewis, Alan Paton, Ignazio Silone, Alice Walker, Elie Wiesel, and Charles Williams, Robert McAfee Brown illustrates "the liberating power of fiction" by enabling the reader to enter their worlds. Brown asserts that although there is no faith that offers ironclad guarantees against future struggles, the wisdom of these authors can help us toward praising and rejoicing.

(The Spirit of Protestantism is an affirmative book based ...)
The Spirit of Protestantism is an affirmative book based on the 'large body of shared convictions' of the various Protestant groups, and on the author's own beliefs. Professor Brown writes directly to the reader as he discusses the place of the Bible in Protestantism, the laity and the clergy, worship, the relationship between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, and finally, social and individual ethics.

( "I do not think there are any issues on the theological...)
"I do not think there are any issues on the theological and human scene more important than the ones liberation theologians are raising," says Robert McAfee Brown. In this book Brown explores how we can respond to liberation theology without condescension, arrogance, or co-optation. He surveys in detail the kind of challenges to North American Christians issued by South American theologians. He then calls upon the church to work to make itself what it ought to be and to take sides politically in support of human rights.

Robert McAfee Brown was a master at turning sometimes abstract and scholarly abstruse theological points and turning them into plain English, both as explanations and discussion topics. In this book, he tackles Bible Study itself. In his preface, he's careful to caution against taking any book about the Bible -- including this one -- as a substitute for reading the Bible itself, but he does offer context and a solid primer for approaching its study. A solid resource for those beginning to study the scripture, as well as those who want to return to basics periodically.

(Here is a definitive introduction to liberation theology ...)
Here is a definitive introduction to liberation theology through the life and work of its most significant proponent, Gustavo Gutierrez. Robert McAfee Brown draws extensively on Gutierrez's own writings (some never published in English) and on personal conversations with him. Brown clearly and compellingly presents the basics of liberation theology and the differences between North American and Latin American theologies. The form of Gustavo Gutierrez is that of a drama. Brown's initial "program notes" introduce and situate the "author" the "actors" the "critics" He sets the stage with a history of church and state in Latin America and introduces its definitive figures, themes, and milestones. A collective biography of Gutierrez's spiritual predecessors is followed by a biography of Gutierrez himself, which takes critical account of his works. Then we are ready, dramatically and theologically, to move to the first act: that of commitment to the poor. The second act, in two scenes, explores first liberation theology's method of critical reflection on praxis and also its content: nothing less than the Word of God. Brown delves next into the controversies and criticisms Gutierrez faces, especially the challenges from authorities in Rome. Finally, in act three, readers discover that in this particular drama, they too are "on stage" and must take part by reflecting on what this drama really means for them.
