The liberating mission of Jesus -- The Galilean option of Jesus -- The path of discipleship -- And he gave him to his mother -- Go and do likewise -- Woman, you are set free from your ailment -- Let the children come to me -- Surrendering one's life as an offering -- But not so with you -- God's special love for the poor and marginalized.
The Liberating Mission of Jesus deals with the central message of the Gospel of Luke, provocatively arguing that the liberating mission of Jesus has two central themes: the universality of the love of God and the special love God has for the defenseless of society. Both of these pillars form the bedrock of Luke's theological vision, animate his Gospel throughout and summarize the good news of the reign of God in subversive and radical form.
