From pastor, scholar, and best-selling author, Marvin McMickle, comes this new volume that considers the evolution of liberation theologies in their historic and cultural contexts. Beginning with the author?s own formative experiences with the Black theology of James Cone, exploring the socioeconomic implications of Latin American liberation theologies, and considering in depth the theologies of feminist scholars, womanist theologians, and women in ministry. More than a chronological history or intellectual analysis, this book breathes with lived faith and practical theology, acknowledging the contexts out of which theologies of liberation emerge and the transforming impact they have on the social and political lives of Christians today.

"I have appreciated many of Dr. McMickle's books, including Where Has All the Prophets Gone: Reclaiming Prophetic Preaching in America and An Encyclopedia of African American Christian Heritage. The latest book, Let the Oppressed God Free: Exploring Theologies of Liberation, with its powerful and engaging cover is timely. It addresses the ongoing struggles for equity and justice in America and beyond. This resource is well developed, informative, and inclusive. It is a writing subject well overdue. Thank you, Judson Press, for a consciousness towards educational, spiritual formation, and curriculum development. All three components will continue to empower Christian leaders, who in turn will continue to impact the global Church." - Rev. Dr. Dianthia Y. Gilmore, Associate Pastor, Antioch Baptist Church, Cleveland, OH and Founder of Seed Sowers Ministry: Christian Counseling for God's Servant-Leaders
