History from the View of the Cross: An Exploration of Lonergan and Latin American Theologies of Liberation

Abstract

The article deals with questions of the relationship of theories of history and theologies of liberation. More specifically, the guiding question is what theory of history does a theology of liberation require. To answer this, Marx and Lonergan are brought into dialogue with Latin American liberation theologians to compare and test the cogency of these two thinkers with Latin American thought.
