La lectura sociológica de la Biblia y la Hermenéutica de la Liberación presentada con ocasión de la Cátedra J. Mackay 2023
Abstract
Liberation Theology (TL) in Latin America and Caribbean (ALC) contributed not only to the construction of a transformative discourse in Theology, but also demanded different approaches to the biblical text that responded to said transformation and to that of Christian praxis. Hand in hand with theological production, different efforts arose for a popular reading of the Bible (LBP), rooted in the dynamics of the base ecclesial communities that emerged in ALC.
Along with the popular reading efforts, we can verify the emergence of more academic efforts that reflected an approach to the text connected to our realities and in discussion with the exegetical assumptions of the North Atlantic tradition.
Among the methodological bets that have arisen is “sociological exegesis” (ES) which, although it also has its North Atlantic expressions, highlights a particular and crucial approach in the Latin American context, in some cases translated into what was called the “reading from the four sides”.
