AB  - Illustrates and explicates the proposition that the critique of exploitation
and injustice found in contemporary Liberation Theology is theologically
grounded, in that these phenomena are rebuked as discordant with
God′s will, as revealed by textual re‐examination of the Bible, notably
the Old Testament, not merely as socially undesirable, by examination
of four central themes: (1) the Old Testament characterization of God
as hater of exploitation, lover of justice, and Liberator of the oppressed;
(2) the Biblical depiction of the character and methods of oppression
and exploitation and the identification of oppressors and oppressed;
(3) the Old Testament model of stages in the liberative process and
vision of a future society characterized by peace, freedom, justice,
equality, community, and prosperity; (4) significant elements of
continuity between Old and New Testament on these issues.
