Editorial Reviews
Review
"With trenchant insight, this book recovers the language of liberation for the task of theology today, demonstrating how the church's response to God's call demands an urgent conversion to the earth and to the poor." --Gustavo Gutiérrez, author, A Theology of Liberation: History, Politics, and Salvation
"This timely, groundbreaking work should be read by anyone interested in understanding the integral relationship between the global crises of environmental devastation and human social suffering. Castillo's ecological theology of liberation represents a major advance in the ongoing development of Christian theologies of liberation." --Roberto S. Goizueta, author, Christ Our Companion: Toward a Theological Aesthetics of Liberation
"This is an important book. Ambitious in scope and careful in research, Castillo develops an ecologically integrated account of liberation that significantly advances Christian efforts to understand salvation in a time of planetary crises." --Willis Jenkins, author, Ecologies of Grace: Environmental Ethics and Christian Theology
