"Robert McAfee Brown is the preacher, and I am the choir. I don't need to be sold on the virtues of Liberation Theology. So it drove me crazy how consistently Brown bypassed every single opportunity to make an interesting or provocative point. He sidesteps a proper Marxist analysis of the movement in Latin America entirely, and instead engages in the very worst sort of white-guilt identity politics. (Remember Robert, 'there is neither Jew nor Greek...') This is seasoned with Reagan-bashing (brave!) and tepid critiques of the "excesses of capitalism." Mabye I was expecting more "-ology" out of Liberation Theology, because I think Brown's stubborn insistence that to be "grass-roots" instead of "top-down," we must "begin with the people" and work up to ideas totally ruined it for me. His vague exhortations that "we mustn't just talk about this! we must do something!" are completely wrong-headed. The very strength of Christian resistance is it's ideological nature, inflicting a worldview onto the chaos of reality - Christianity offers an alternative vision, an ideal to be aspired to ("on earth, as it is in heaven") - the very opposite of stumbling pragmatically in the direction of nebulous, supposedly grass-roots "progress." I'm sure Brown is a well-intentioned man, but this treatise is very unhelpful."
"I thought it was amazing. I especially liked the story about the Palo Alto woman who began to advocate in her church for people to protest against return of Salvadoran refugees. Brown writes, "this can also be called praying with one's feet."
i love books and i love words. there is great power in words when we let the ideas move us to action."
