A Christology of Liberation in an Age of Globalization and Exclusion

Robert J. Rivera critically engages the contemporary challenges of neo-liberal globalization.

Concerned with the ways in which neo-liberal processes of globalization can, and do, exclude the most vulnerable, Rivera offers a Christology of liberation that is rooted in, and privileges, the lived realities of the excluded.

This Christology, Rivera argues, is a critical resource that enables the excluded to resist, redeem, and re-imagine globalization.

In dialogue with the social sciences and decolonial philosophies, Rivera puts forward an account that is suggestive of the ways in which theologians can respond to contemporary challenges of injustice in our world today.
