Efficacious Love
This book provides a concise, accurate introduction to the theology of Juan Luis Segundo. It is comprehensive in its brevity. After presenting Segundo in terms of the historical development of his work, the author explains the main influences on his thought, the principal categories and distinctions that distinguish his language, and the elements of method that structures the genesis of his theology. She draws from the whole corpus of his writing and by comparative analysis is able to shed light on many of Segundo's basic distinctions that befuddle many. Clarifies the fundamental categories that recur again and again in Segundo's thinking. Beyond re-presenting Segundo's theology, Lowe Ching provides a coherent and plausible interpretation of it. In each successive chapter she builds the argument that the theme of efficacious love holds the various dimensions of Segundo's theory together. Its commanding influence is reflected in his appropriation of his sources and in the structure of his method. Not only of interest for students of liberation theology and readers of Juan Luis Segundo but all those interested in the meaning of Christianity itself.
Humanization in the Christology of Juan Luis Segundo
NOTE Special Title: By SR. Marilyn Sunderman, RSM, Ph.D.In the past few decades, a revolutionary new way of theologizing has developed in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America. There, in countries where the majority of the people know only a life of poverty and oppression, theologians such as the Uruguayan Jesuit, Juan Luis Segundo, have contributed immensely to the articulation of a liberating theology through the publication of numerous books and articles.
Freedom and Existence
Is theology a dead corpse or living organism? For Uruguayan Jesuit Juan Luis Segundo (1925-1996), theology is dynamic. Freedom and existence for central themes. Segundo believed that theology should be transformative in human lives. For a theology to be transformative, there must be a connection to existence. That is, it must be existential. Yet most scholars have overlooked this assumption in critical analyses of liberation theology. This prima facie connection to existence is distinguishable from existentialism as a school of philosophy. By showing the significant existential dimension to Segundo's theology, assessing his work and contribution to twentieth-century theology relates to freedom, ecumenism, the role of faith in society, and the relationship between faith and ideologies.
The Poor in the Ecclesiology of Juan Luis Segundo
Juan Luis Segundo, Uruguayan Jesuit (1925- ), is one of the contemporary theologians for whom poor and dehumanized people figure prominently in their work. This timely book explores the theological meaning of the poor in Segundo's writing and analyzes the role of the poor in his theology of the church. It develops and evaluates Segundo's argument that the church is meant to be a minority prophetic community at the service of the dehumanized persons of the world.
The Faith that Works
The liberation theology of Juan Luis Segundo, S.J., is examined in light of Segundo's own evangelical commitment to connect "faith" and "works." This book argues that the principal thesis of Segundo's theology is that faith and faith works (defined as either "love" or "ideology") need to be distinguished, but not separated; a Pauline connection that has been severely overlooked in contemporary theology. Contents: Introduction; THE FAITH THAT WORKS; Juan Luis Segundo's Theology of "Faith" and "Faith's Works"; Biblical Hermeneutics, Revelation, and Pauline Theology; THE FAITH THAT WORKS IN DISPUTE; Segundo's Theology in the Context of Contemporary Catholic and Protestant Theology; Segundo and Luther on "Faith" and "Faith Works"; FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FAITH THAT WORKS; The Inherent Problems in Segundo's Theological Presupposition; Conclusion: Toward Dialogue on the Relationship Between "Faith" and "Faith Works"; Appendix: The Life and Works of Juan Luis Segundo, S.J. (from 1925 to 1994).

Popular Religion and Liberation
Liberation theologians either argue for the liberating character of popular religion or they vilify it as alienating and otherworldly. This book takes a comprehensive and in- depth look at the issues, questions, and problems that emerge from the debate among liberation theologians in Latin America. The heart of the book consists of a comparative analysis of two prominent theologians, Juan Carlos Scannone from Argentina, and Juan Luis Segundo from Uruguay, who take opposite positions. Scannone sees popular religion as essentially liberating because it is from the people. Segundo disparages popular religion as a mass phenomenon incapable of revolutionary change and looks forward to its demise. Candelaria synthesizes these contrary positions into a new paradigm for examining the question of popular religion and liberation. On the basis of this synthesis, he formulates a principle for articulating the relationship between popular religion and liberation and with special reference to the situation of Hispanics in the United States.
Signs of the Times
These essays offer a probing entry into the work of one of Latin America's deepest and most challenging proponents of liberation theology. Editor Alfred Hennelly has selected and briefly introduces the most important and representative of Juan Luis Segundo's voluminous writings from the last 20 years; most of them never before available in English. At once insightful and polemical, Segundo is drawn to the thick of today's theological controversies. He explores such areas as christology, revelation, the option for the poor, the future of liberation theology, Ignatian spirituality, and the meaning of the recent quincentenary of Columbus' arrival in the "New World".
