ABSTRACT
In this book I have begun to fashion an interdisciplinary theology of community organizing, which reframes the core values of liberation theology in order to engage in a credible and holistic manner with the dynamic complexities of life within superdiverse societies in the twenty-first century. In the preceding chapters I have shown that the broad-based community organizing that Saul Alinsky first established in Chicago seventy years ago represents a powerful and widely practiced expression of grass-roots civil society politics and suggested that it provides people of faith with the most effective means of translating their ethical or theological values into ongoing action for social justice in superdiverse societies where faith groups retain significant social capital in socially excluded communities.
