Remember the Poor: The Challenge to Theology in the Twenty-First Century
"The U.S. is a country surrounded by mirrors. We look but only see ourselves. However, if we see the real other and recognize that this repressed other is part of ourselves, we can break the unreal mirror-image. [Reiger] offers a significant step in the direction." —Theological Studies (Michael L. Cook, S.J.Theological Studies)"...Reiger provides a thought-provoking, investigation. [He] dramatically draws the distinction between focusing on the clarity of tradition and entering into a creative dialogue with it. Remember the Poor is a testament to the need to get beyond losing ourselves in texts or selfishness." — G. David Schwartz, Seedhouse (G. David SchwartzSeedhouse)"Not to long ago I read Remember the Poor for the second time. It is a superb book and [Reiger's] use of Lacan is fascinating. [He has] pushed liberation theology into a new direction and in so doing, challeneged the way North Americans have understood it as akind of "movement" theology." — Rebecca S. Chopp, Emory University (Rebecca S. Chopp, Emory UniversityIndependent Reviewer Request)"[Rieger] admirably defends liberation theology from the charge of being just another form of liberalism...interacts with post-liberal theology both critically and appreciativly. His challenge to follow Jesus by identifying with the poor and the underside of history needs to be heard." — Mike Broadway, Interpretation (Mike BroadwayInterpretation)"The U.S. is a country surrounded by mirrors.
