Reviews

The recent fate of liberation theology in Latin America has recieved a good deal of publicity; not so well known has been the history of liberation theology in Western Europe. Help has now arrived. With considerable industry, Dr Horn, Senior Lecturer in 20th-Century History in the University of Warwick, has published this, his eighth book, which provides an account of the first wave of liberation theology, nearer home...those with literary stamina will be rewarded by knowledge of an interesting piece of church history. Margaret Pawley, Church Times a highly informed and meticulously researched historical study Philip Kennedy, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
