Christ for the Excluded: Christology, Globalization, and Liberation: T&T Clark Studies in Edward Schillebeeckx

Autor Assistant Professor Robert J. Rivera
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2025
Robert J. Rivera critically engages the contemporary challenges of neo-liberal globalization. Concerned with the ways in which neo-liberal processes of globalization can, and do, exclude the most vulnerable, Rivera offers a Christology of liberation that is rooted in, and privileges, the lived realities of the excluded. This Christology is a critical resource that enables the excluded to resist, transform, and re-imagine globalization. In dialogue with the social sciences and decolonial philosophies, Rivera puts forward an account that is suggestive of the ways in which theologians can respond to contemporary challenges of injustice in our world today.

Bibliography

Recenzii

Guided by the classic christologies of Jon Sobrino and Edward Schillebeeckx, this book develops the ongoing relevance of Christ in the Global North and the Global South at a time when our struggles and troubles continue to intensify everywhere.
"Without a vision, the people perish" (Prov 29:18). Can Christian faith offer an alternative vision to the dominant one operative in the current globalized economic system which excludes countless persons from the most basic resources necessary for human dignity and even survival? Drawing on the liberationist Christologies of Jon Sobrino and Edward Schillebeeckx, Robert Rivera's Christ for the Excluded underscores the conviction at the heart of their distinct projects: Resources for hope, resistance, and reimagining of an alternative world can be found in embracing the vision of the reign of God that Jesus proclaimed, lived, and enfleshed even to his death on the cross. God's definitive victory over evil and injustice in raising Jesus from the dead and pouring out the transforming power of the Spirit throughout human history grounds the bold Christian hope that another world is possible. That hope impels solidarity with the excluded and concrete action on behalf of global justice, including economic justice. Highly recommended!
Through an argument that is at once both meticulous and visionary, this book offers a Christology capable of tackling the profound exclusions caused by neo-liberalism. Drawing on Sobrino to represent the Global South and Schillebeeckx the Global North, Rivera discerns Christ's presence amid globalisation's horrors and calls on the Christian community to meet Christ there.
