In Liberation Theology for Armchair Theologians by Miguel A. De La Torre the theme of Liberation Theology was explored. De La Torre biblically expressed Liberation theology using the main point that the poor are followers of God and God himself is the leader of the poor, who will not let them down. In addition to De La Torre, using the underrepresented society as an example of how Liberation Theology works, he uses a worldview that draws on different theologies such as Black Theology, US Feminist Theologies, Hispanic Theologies, and many others. Although De La Torre lists several theologies from different groups, they all tie together by blending into the dish of Liberation Theology. When writing a book, every author needs a target audience and De La Torre has focused his audience on two objectives. The first target audience is readers who are not familiar with liberation theology or the theology period. The second target audience is that of readers who already know Liberation Theology. It is understandable why De La Torre wants to introduce liberation theology to readers who have not heard of it. But it is also intriguing to know that he wanted to enlighten people who had heard of or even studied liberation theology before the book was published. Liberation theology for armchair theologians overall can be included in the genre of theology. The fact that the genre is actually Theology shines through in the argument of this book. To convey his thesis De La Torre, at the beginning of the book, has provided historical background to help all readers understand exactly what liberation theology is. From the origins of the conversion of the Indians by the Spaniards into "civilized" people to obtain power, economic wealth and the ability to ex...... middle of paper......La Torre however the illustrations keep the readers from formulating totally their own hypotheses and opinions on liberation theology. Overall, Miguel A. De Le Torre effectively conveyed his views on liberation theology to both of his target groups. His examples of historical events allow the reader to glimpse what he is trying to convey because he made it relatable to everyone. Along with his creative examples, De Le Torre concluded Liberation Theology for Armchair Theologians with a challenge advising anyone reading the book not to be an armchair theologian, he expressed by putting in place a plan to help the oppressed through theology . It seems that his history lesson throughout the book was a preparation for readers to not only gain an understanding of liberation theology, but also to come up with a plan to contribute positively to the world..
