Description
Summary:Excerpt: What an auspicious time for a theology combining issues of poverty and ecology! The release of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si: Caring for Our Common Home in June 2015 and the euphoria surrounding the Paris Environmental Summit in December 2015 have made the well-being of the earth community a front page issue. Father Reynaldo Raluto has made a significant contribution to the discourse on these pressing global issues and has developed a Filipino Catholic theology of liberation addressing the interrelated issues of poverty and the health of the earth community.
