Resumo:
This paper critically examines the liberation theology of Jos Porfirio Miranda, as expressed in his Marx and the Bible (1971), with a focus on the central idea (and subtitle) of this work: the Critique of the Philosophy of Oppression. Mirandas critique is examined via certain key tropes such as power, justice, and freedom, both in the context of late twentieth-century Latin American society, and in the state of the post-Christian and post-Marxist world more generally, vis--vis contemporary liberal justice theory. Close examination of the potentialities, paradoxes and subtle evasions in Mirandas critique leads not to the conclusion that Miranda does not go far enough in his application of Christian principles to justice theory.
