Introduction PART ONE: PROPHETS, HEALERS, AND LIBERATORS
From the Back Cover
In part this book is an issue of justice, of reverencing the autonomy and integrity of peoples whose non-Western values and thought patterns need not be jettisoned by their Christian commitment. In part it is a question of liberation, of Christianity's siding with marginalized Christians in their struggles against oppressive structures introduced by colonialism.Dimensions (Overall): 8.68 Inches (H) x 5.71 Inches (W) x .94 Inches (D)
