Descripción
Gustavo Gutiérrez, considerado el “padre” de la teología de la liberación, desarrolló una reflexión teológica desde el contexto histórico de América Latina, marcado por la pobreza y la opresión. Él representa, junto a otros/as, el despertar teológico de la Iglesia latinoamericana del posconcilio. Este artículo describe su método teológico, caracterizado por reflexionar sobre una praxis cristiana constituida por la contemplación y la acción transformadora de la realidad, a la luz de la Palabra de Dios. Con este propósito, la publicación se detiene en la pregunta por Dios de Gutiérrez, que, en síntesis, plantea: “¿cómo hablar del Dios de la vida desde el sufrimiento del inocente?”. Pues es Dios mismo la condición de posibilidad de su teología. Este Dios es misterio; sin embargo, Él se ha revelado como amor gratuito en la creación y en la historia. La fe en este Dios debería activar, según Gutiérrez, una praxis liberadora de los pobres y los oprimidos.

For it is God Himself who is the ultimate condition of possibility for his theology. This God is a mystery; however, He has revealed Himself as gratuitous love in creation and history. Faith in this God, according to Gutiérrez, should inspire a liberating praxis for the poor and the oppressed.
