Liberation against Entitlement

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Noble’s impressive comparative study of divided polities puts the theology of liberation to work for a post-COVID-19, viciously polarized world. Beginning with Karl Marx and concluding with Pope Francis’s Fratelli Tutti, Noble explores a vast terrain. His identification of a tension between theology of liberation and theology of entitlement is an invaluable key for understanding our bewildering context; and for imagining how disheartened societies might become heartened once again.”
