| Summary: | Challenging the widespread assumption that political theology as a discipline began with Carl Schmitt in the 20th century, this essay explores the biblical theme of God's preferential option for the poor and oppressed first articulated as a modern political theology by Latin American theologians, but organically and independently manifest in US black liberation theology, and First World feminist theologies. At the heart of this movement is a commitment to speak truth to power at the risk of personal loss and even martyrdom. |
