Download or read book Liberation Method and Dialogue written by Roberto S. Goizueta and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the theological method of liberation theologian Enrique Dussel and, by comparing it with the meta-method of Bernard Lonergan, establishes a paradigm for international theological dialogue. The author suggests that Dussel’s non-reductionist understanding of liberation and Lonergan’s understanding of the subject-as-subject provide a methodological foundation for critical dialogue between Latin American and North American theologians. The methodological maturation of liberation theology rehearsed in this study suggests how the insights of Latin American theology demand the development of an indigenous form of North American theology of liberation.
Download or read book The Coloniality of the Secular written by Yountae An and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Coloniality of the Secular, An Yountae investigates the collusive ties between the modern concepts of the secular, religion, race, and coloniality in the Americas. Drawing on the work of Édouard Glissant, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, and Enrique Dussel, An maps the intersections of revolutionary non-Western thought with religious ideas to show how decoloniality redefines the sacred as an integral part of its liberation vision. He examines these thinkers’ rejection of colonial religions and interrogates the narrow conception of religion that confines it within colonial power structures. An explores decoloniality’s conception of the sacred in relation to revolutionary violence, gender, creolization, and racial phenomenology, demonstrating its potential for reshaping religious paradigms. Pointing out that the secular has been pivotal to regulating racial hierarchies under colonialism, he advocates for a broader understanding of religion that captures the fundamental ideas that drive decolonial thinking. By examining how decolonial theory incorporates the sacred into its vision of liberation, An invites readers to rethink the transformative power of decoloniality and religion to build a hopeful future.

Download or read book Liberation Theologies Postmodernity and the Americas written by David Batstone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simultaneously arising out of such diverse contexts as the black community in the United States, grassroots religious communities in Latin America, and feminist circles in North Atlantic countries, theologies of liberation have emerged as a resource and inspiration for people seeking social and political freedom. Over the last three decades, liberation theology has irrevocably altered religious thinking and practice throughout the Americas. Liberation Theologies, Postmodernity and the Americas provides a meaningful and spirited debate on vital interpretive issues in religion, philosophy, and ethics. The renowned group of scholars explore liberation theologies' uses of discourses of emancipation, revolution and utopia in contrast with postmodernism's suspicion of grand narratives, while assessing what the postmodernism/liberation debate means for strategies of social and political transformation. Guided by the experiences of those at the margins of social power, liberation theologies demystify the eurocentric myths of secularization and modernity, and calls for a re-appraisal of religion in contemporary societies.

Download or read book New Evangelization written by Leonardo Boff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-02-03 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the 500th anniversary of the conquest of the Americas, Leonardo Boff offers a telling assessment of the impact and future prospects of Christianity. The anniversary has prompted intense soul-searching, especially in Latin America. While church conservatives have called triumphalistically for a "new evangelization" of the continent, others-remembering the ongoing toll among native peoples, blacks, and the poor-have called on the church to free itself from vestiges of its colonial past. In New Evangelization Boff cuts to the heart of tensions in the church today. In his first extensive treatment of Christian mission from a liberation theology perspective he deals with such topics as inculturation and the trinitarian basis of mission. He offers an extensive reflection on the figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe as model of a new, liberating evangelization. The gospel arrived in the Americas under the sign of domination. Boff argues that a new evangelization, rooted in the culture of the oppressed, must occur under the sign of liberation. Book jacket.
Download or read book Las Casas written by Gustavo Gutiérrez and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this passionate work, the pioneering author of A Theology of Liberation delves into the life, thought, and contemporary meaning of Bartolome de Las Casas, sixteenth-century Dominican priest, prophet, and "Defender of the Indians" in the New World. Writing against the backdrop of the fifth centenary of the conquest of the Americas, Gutierrez seeks in the remarkable figure of Las Casas the roots of a different history and a gospel uncontaminated by force and exploitation. Las Casas, who arrived in the New World in 1502, underwent a conversion after witnessing the injustices inflicted on the Indians. Proclaiming that Jesus Christ was being crucified in the poor, he went on to spend a lifetime challenging the Church and the Empire of his day. His voluminous writings, along with those of his numerous adversaries, provide the substance for Gutierrez's reflections. What emerges is both a prophet of unquestioned courage and a theologian of remarkable depth, whose vision continues to set in relief the challenge of the gospel in a world of injustice. Not only did Las Casas point the way to such contemporary themes as the church's "preferential option for the poor" and the denunciation of "social sin", but he anticipated by centuries the principles of religious freedom, the rights of conscience, and the salvation of non-Christians, articulated at Vatican II. Through the poor of his time, Las Casas was moved to rediscover the radical challenge of the gospel. Gutierrez writes from a similar location and with a similar pathos. Far from a dry exercise in historical retrieval, Las Casas represents the author's most recent effort to articulate the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our own world and time, nowas then marked by oppression as well as the struggle for liberation.
