About this title

Synopsis

From the foreward of this 307 page book: "Juan Luis Segundo calls his present work 'posthumous' - both because the sensitivity of the topic puts any future works in jeopardy, and because it provides the logical key to all his previous theological work. Segundo has tried to interpret the meaning of the gospel for believers today. One of the pioneers of Latin American liberation theology, he has tried especially to discern the relevance of faith to the emancipation of human beings from conditions of oppression. In [this book] he turns to foundational questions of Christian faith seldom addressed by liberation theology: the meaning of revelation, and its articulation in dogma. He lays the basis for his understanding of revelation as a process of 'divine pedagogy', an interaction between God and the human community in which the latter 'learn how to learn'.

Reviews

Segundo, an important Latin American Roman Catholic theologian, provides a groundbreaking study of dogma in the Old Testament through the ages. The study is thorough, carefully nuanced, and courageous: it will be controversial because Segundo addresses central issues about the process of revelation and its content. In prophetic fashion he tries to discern the signs of the times and restore an experiential basis to divine revelation and its dogmatic formulation. He recommends a return to essential, core teachings that are humanizing. Recommended for seminary, academic, and large public libraries.
