A review of this 208-page book reads: "In this excellent volume Elsa Tamez offers a sharp rereading and reappropriation of the Pauline teaching of justification by faith from a Latin American perspective, from the perspective of the poor and marginalized of the continent. The result is not only a highly innovative and challenging interpretation of this teaching - with justice and solidarity at its very core - but also an excellent example of theological dialogue with the Scriptures - thoroughly immersed in the sociopolitcal realities of both the Roman Empire and present-day Latin America."
