dc.description.abstractThe words "oppression-struggle-liberation-freedom" have become some of the much spoken words in our world, particularly in Sudan. They echo cries of despair of a people who yearn for freedom, justice and peace. However, God's promises of liberation — the exodus and the liberating acts of Yahweh which achieve their full meaning in Jesus Christ — are foundations of hope from which victims of oppression get their courage and strength to determinedly and efficiently work for liberation as the building of God's Kingdom. Liberation, in this context, is a biblical language, that is, Yahweh who heard the groaning of his oppressed people in Egypt always hears and takes side with the oppressed of every age, space and race. He is a liberator, redeemer and savior who, with his mighty hand and in great love, brought his people Israel out of the house of bondage to prepare them for himself. Whenever they strayed from him and fell victim to oppression, Yahweh always freed them. Finally, Yahweh sent his only Son — - the Messiah, liberator par excellence — to free humanity from all forms of evil. In these events dwells all hope for liberation. The Old and the New Testament are an account of God's liberating acts of love on behalf of the poor and the oppressed.en_US
