About the book
"A Preference for the Poor tells the story of Latin American liberation theology in a succinct, scholarly, and yet readable way. In it, author Manfred Bahmann highlights the various emphases of major Latin American liberation theologians; the rise of military dictatorships; the Pope's course correction in his 1975 encyclical "Evangelii Nuntiandi," fleshed out at the 1979 Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM) conference in Puebla; and the movement's decline with the collapse of world Marxism. Following a description of the phenomenal growth of Pentecostalism on the traditionally Roman Catholic continent. Dr. Bahmann posits a Protestant view of a new liberation theology built on a spiritual foundation for Christian believers within a world of global capitalism."--BOOK JACKET.
