The liberation theology of Juan Luis Segundo, S.J., is examined in light of Segundo's own evangelical commitment to connect "faith" and "works." This book argues that the principal thesis of Segundo's theology is that faith and faith works (defined as either "love" or "ideology") need to be distinguished, but not separated; a Pauline connection that has been severely overlooked in contemporary theology.
