In an age marked by democratic fragility, digital manipulation, and deepening geopolitical conflict, the question of how faith should respond to power has become urgent once again. Faith, Power, and Emancipation develops a bold and disciplined theological framework for confronting injustice without illusion or ideological absolutism.
Building on the philosophical foundations of Critical Synthetic Realism and the theological insights of Synthetic Theological Realism and Critical-Liberative Theology, Januarius Asongu proposes Liberative Realism as a constructive approach to the ethics of liberation in the modern world. Liberative Realism affirms the moral necessity of resisting oppression while insisting that the struggle for freedom must remain grounded in truth, moral responsibility, and institutional wisdom.
Engaging Scripture, liberation theology, Catholic social thought, and contemporary political theory, this book examines the dynamics of empire, the moral discipline of resistance, the power of narrative in modern conflicts, and the fragile conditions required for sustaining democratic institutions. It argues that liberation must resist injustice without reproducing domination and that freedom must be built through knowledge, conscience, and civic courage.
Faith seeking understanding must also become faith seeking emancipation. This work offers a theology for believers who refuse resignation and choose disciplined, truth-oriented engagement in the long struggle for justice.
