“Rodes . . . seeks ‘to present a coherent theory incorporating the principles of liberation theology into Anglo-American jurisprudence.’ His chief sources are Gustavo Gutiérrez and some major documents of the Catholic Church. He describes pilgrim law as a law based on Christian eschatology, the jurisprudential manifestation of the theology of liberation. He emphasizes class differences, the preferential option for the poor, and the role of the church in society, illustrating them with many concrete examples.” —Theology Digest
