Synopsis

By reaching beneath many contemporary studies, Exodus: A Hermeneutics of Freedom provides a clear, healthy method for others to follow what is happening in liberation theology. We badly needed a book like this one, to forge the links in the intuitive leaps and prophetic visions of other books. Croatto turns to the Bible for models and for procedure, so that the historic events of Scripture not only inspire us but their narrative or 'word' directs us carefully yet vigorously along the same path. Caroll Stuhlmueller, C.P., Catholic Theological Union, Chicago Severino Croatto is one of the most talented biblical scholars of Latin America, and this book is one of the foundational sources in the hermeneutics of Latin American liberation theology. Required reading for theological Students in general and biblical scholars in particular. Orlando E. Costas, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
