More about the book
The book explores the evolution of Brazilian theology, particularly the impact of Liberation Theology during the politically tumultuous 1970s and 1980s. It highlights the dynamic between progressive Catholic movements and the rise of evangelical groups amidst Brazil's military regime. Following the democratic transition, it advocates for a new, ecumenical public theology that balances critique and cooperation, drawing on Lutheran principles to emphasize human dignity and citizenship. This approach aims to empower churches to actively participate in society while fostering political engagement rooted in religious values.
