Overview

Liberation theologies are needed now more than ever. This Special Issue, ""The Future of Liberation Theologies"", consists of ten timely peer-reviewed articles by newer and senior scholars and global activists. They examine and evaluate how the theologies of liberation advocate, impact, or enhance liberation from moral, social, political, economic, and theological inequalities and injustice. These scholars and practitioners not only assess the past and present contributions (and failures) of liberation theologies but also highlight ongoing and future calls for liberation and redemption. Rising global inequality, mass poverty, forced migration, homelessness, wars, political unrest, and the ravages and instability wrought by global climate change are just some key areas of ongoing concern where the insights, challenges, denunciations, and praxis of liberation theologies are needed. The approach here is global, interdisciplinary, intersectional, and religiously pluralist, four required lenses that account for the complexity and growth of liberation theologies today amid varied local, national, ethnic, religious, and international contexts. This Special Issue will not only help to outline and develop the present and future of liberation theologies but also contribute theoretical and concrete paths, pedagogies, and policies for ongoing liberation and social justice advocacy.
