I doubt if I will read the whole work but I have read the introduction and I encourage you to do the same. The discussion and analysis of Contextual Theology and its role in ridding S. Africa of apartheid is enlightening and encouraging. (It happened once, it could happen again!) It mentions the Medellin Conference in 1968 in discussing Liberation Theology. I was living in Medellin from 1960-1969 and I followed Padre Camilo Torres who preached and lived Liberation Theology--until they killed him.

 

Call it contextual or call it more aptly liberation, it will not be popular with hierarchies in church or government. Its kinship with Marxism inspires some and frightens many.
Miguel's work is very interesting and it raises so many questions for me. I wonder where is the church, where is the theology or context that proposes to raise the poor to full membership in society.

Thanks, Miguel
