Choi: Latin America and Liberation Theology 76 Comparative Civilizations Review No. 49 LATIN AMERICA AND LIBERATION THEOLOGY DONG SULL CHOI, BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY A central and fundamental theme in most world religions is libera- tion. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism all seek liberation from the endless cycles of birth and death until the adherents attain mok- sha, nirvana, or self-realization. Monotheistic faiths, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, promise and teach liberation from oppression, sin, and the fear of death. Biblical traditions and messages, including the story of the Israelites' flight from Egyptian bondage, have been the important historical sources or foundations for various searches for lib- eration. The rise of "liberation theology" in the Christian world is one of the most conspicuous and significant developments of the past several decades in this global village. Regarded by some theologians as the most important religious movement since the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, liberation theology characterizes a variety of Christian movements in many parts of the world, including Asia, Africa, Western Europe, North America, and especially Latin America. -

Getting Back to Idolatry Critique: Kingdom, Kin-Dom, and the Triune

The charge of idolatry, however, is rooted in transcendence (and cially in the United States.

Theology Is Everywhere 2.5 - the Gospel of Liberation 1
Theology is Everywhere 2.5 - The Gospel of Liberation 1. Galatians – the Gospel of Liberation 5 1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters;[c] only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence,[d] but through love become slaves to one another. 14 For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 2. God’s Preferential Option for the Poor This referred especially to a trend throughout biblical texts, where there is a demonstrable preference given to powerless individuals who live on the margins of society. citing Matthew 25, “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.” 3. Gustavo Gutierrez ~ A Theology of Liberation “But the poor person does not exist as an inescapable fact of destiny. His or her existence is not politically neutral, and it is not ethically innocent. The poor are a by-product of the system in which we live and for which we are responsible. They are marginalized by our social and cultural world. They are the oppressed, exploited proletariat, robbed of the fruit of their labor and despoiled of their humanity. Hence the poverty of the poor is not a call to generous relief action, but a demand that we go and build a different social order.” 4. The Universality of God’s Preference 5. De-centralized Christianity 6. Viewing Scripture from the Vantage point of the Poor 7. -

Political and Liberation Theology Is the First of Our Tasks in These Pages
224 THEOLOGICAL TRENDS Political and liberation theology, I LTHOUGH only a few years ago it would have seemed questionable A at the least to discuss political and liberation theology side by side, today it would make no sense at all to do otherwise. Part of their respective maturation processes has been to learn from one another; to learn about their essentially similar intentions and the differences in their respective approaches to that common purpose, namely, to demonstrate the closeness of the link between political action and christian life. In recent years, the theology of liberation has definitely been the better- known phenomenon, no doubt as exaggerated media coverage about Marxism and the theology of revolution has found it more newsworthy. However, the term 'political theology' has much the longer pedigree. 'Liberation theology' as a term, if not as a reality, dates back only as far as the mid-sixties, and first became current with Gustavo Gutierrez's A theology of liberation. 1 'Political theology', on the other hand, is as old as the threefold stoic division of theology into natural, mythical and political. 2 To delineate the precise contemporary relationship between political and liberation theology is the first of our tasks in these pages. In 1977 and 1978 in the pages of The Way, Joseph Laishley wrote a three-part article on liberation theology. The present two-part article is not to be thought to duplicate or replace that valuable work, but to bring it up to date. Seven or eight years later, it is possible to see far more clearly the relationship of political and liberation theologies, and, of course, a lot has happened in these years to both theological schools. -

Asian Feminist Theology
WMST 712: Interdisciplinary Seminar in Women’s and Gender Studies Instructor: Virginia Burrus Name: Hyun Hui Kim Asian Feminist Theology I. Introduction In the field of theological studies, feminist theologies emerging from Asia— the so-called Asian Feminist Theologies—seem to be controversial even in name, because the term, “feminist,” connotes their as having been promoted by middle- class European and American women (Kwok Pui-lan, 2005:7). Unlike female theologians from other parts of the world who name their theologies differently from (white) feminist Theology—womanist theology (by African-American women), mujerista theology (by Hispanic women in the United States)— etc., women theologians from Asia do not categorize their theologies in any way other than Asian feminist theology. It is more appropriate to say they are unable to rather than ‘do- not,’ because there is no language or concept in common they can share when standing in multiracial, multilingual, multicultural, and multi-religious contexts. Asian feminist theology arose in reaction to liberation theologies in various regions, and began to be fostered in response to political and economic predicaments caused by the interference of North American and European institutions and corporations under the name of “progress,” when Asian countries began to achieve independence after World War II. In the beginning, Asian feminist theology grew out of the broad linkage of the term, “the third world,” manifesting the essential quality of justice against formidable oppression. 1 While the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians (EATWOT), founded in Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania in 1976, was consciously aware of questions of race and culture, third- world women challenged and resisted the lack of attention to gender in third -world theologies by male theologians who longed for women to be where they should be.
