About this video
Runtime: 25 minsChristopher Rowland discusses Latin American liberation theology, radical Christianity and politics. This radical Christianity is intrinsic to the core of Christianity itself, emphasizing a departure from traditional institutional norms which is rooted in visionary experiences as figures like Jesus and Paul challenged established religious practices. They engaged in conflict, driven by personal conviction, often in opposition to the law of Moses and religious authorities. Examples like the Diggers in 1649 and Thomas Müntzer illustrate radicalism's call to action, advocating for social and economic change. Rowland connects this tradition to modern movements like Liberation Theology, highlighting the importance of direct engagement with scripture and community experiences, emphasizing action over passive acceptance.
