No es éste un libro apologético. No pretende que la explosión inicial que dio origen al universo constituya una nueva prueba de la existencia del Creador. Es verdad que las ciencias físicas y astronómicas, que pretendieron dejar de lado la hipótesis -Dios, usan ahora expresiones mucho más próximas a las de los creyentes y, en sus extrapolaciones, llegan a hablar de un principio antrópico que ligaría el big-bang inicial con la existencia del hombre. Pero, al decir que ello no constituye una prueba de la existencia de Dios, no se niega que pueda darnos una imagen increíblemente más próxima, más nítida, más rica de sentido, de ese Dios en el que creemos los cristianos, hasta el ...
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.
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.
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.
Analyzes Cardinal Ratzinger's stand against liberation theology, argues that there is no connection between the movement and Marxism, and explains why the movement is important

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".
