This book offers a Christological account developed among the poor in Latin America and their experience of a God incarnated in history. It places two realities together: the academia, where faith is object of studies, and the grassroots community, where faith is embodied. The author introduces the reader to a contemporary Christological discussion from a Latin American liberating perspective with three essential characteristics: first, it is a Christology created from the reality of the poor and marginalized and, at the same time, oriented toward this reality as a pastoral resource. Second, its method goes beyond the polarization Christology from below and Christology from above. Third, it is a Christological essay that has a biblical text at its center (Lk 4, 16-30) as a starting point from where important theological disciplines are stressed, such as systematic theology, moral theology, and liturgy. In this way, this book presents to the readers how different areas of theology are related and form a unity around the mystery of Christ and the faith experience of a Christian community. Therefore, it is an excellent book to initiate people in theological studies and method that can be used in theological classes in colleges, schools, and Catholic communities.
