Studies in the world church and missions is a series designed to provide an in-depth, global view of the people of God from a God-centered perspective. More than anecdotal, less than encyclopedic, the books in this series explore the life of the church in terms of the history and emerging theology of the church. The sereies is not content to see Asia or Africa or Latin America as a "mission field," any less so, or more so, than North America or Europe. Evangelicals and liberation seeks to interact with the Latin American and black theology of liberation now challenging the North Atlantic Christian community. The six writers of this symposium attempt not only to analyze this movement but to respond positively to its probe, raising their won questions on the practice of hermeneutics, the mission of the church and the contextualization of the gospel. There is a biblical challenge for a new Exodus of the pilgrim people of God, an evangelical call for the liberation of North American Christians.
