I will surely ...Hi keropok,<BR/><BR/>thanks for the comments. I will surely post some excerpts and comments from the book.<BR/><BR/>Ben,<BR/><BR/>I know you really instinctively give the book that you know will be very useful. Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>Hi Frank,<BR/><BR/>Yes, i guess even in the more affluent churches some forms of liberation theologies are emerging. It may not be the Latin American strand but as long as there are poor and oppressed around us that have been oppressed one way or another, there is theology of liberation.<BR/><BR/>Hi Haitian,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the visit and the tip. I learn about minjung and James Cone's black liberation theology through reading Moltmann's Experiences in Theology. This really got me going.<BR/><BR/>BlessingsJoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037540294379020064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29526561.post-41389062082039670062007-03-14T22:49:00.000+07:002007-03-14T22:49:00.000+07:00Thoughtful and insightful reflections on Gutierrez...Thoughtful and insightful reflections on Gutierrez. He's certainly one of the major thinkers that those of us ministering in non-western contexts should be familiar with. Also from Latin America, you should consider reading Juan Luis Segundo, in particular his writings on the hermeneutic circle which seems to be employed in some fashion or another by nearly all liberation theologies.<BR/><BR/>But keep in mind that liberation theology did not originate solely in Latin America, but rather it emerged in multiple locations simultaneously. For example, African Americans (e.g., James Cone) were developing their own distinctive theology of liberation concurrently with the Latin Americans and it wasn't until the mid-1970s that serious dialogue began between Black theologians and Latin American theologians began in earnest.<BR/><BR/>Given that you are working in an Asian context, you might be interested in exploring the works of James Cone and, in particular, his reflections on his trips to Korea and interaction with <I>minjung</I> theology.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your future reflections on this topic.haitianministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150621620322399834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29526561.post-3347195776474946462007-03-08T22:57:00.000+07:002007-03-08T22:57:00.000+07:00That's a great book Joey. I discovered Gustavo wit...That's a great book Joey. I discovered Gustavo with "We Drink From Our Own Wells", and one of my favourite profs here studied with Gustavo in Peru. Once you get into it you find the disconnects with what Segundo calls "Classic Theology", mainly the starting place for theological reflection. We've been doing some Liberation Theology social analysis as a small church and it is wonderful, even a middle class church can become conscientized to the world around us and begin to take that analysis to our lived faith. Looking forward to your insights!One of Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479227411431959461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29526561.post-18931870960435663392007-03-07T07:07:00.000+07:002007-03-07T07:07:00.000+07:00I'm delighted that you're finding the books useful...I'm delighted that you're finding the books useful, Joey!Ben Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800127501735910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29526561.post-37599741662984817652007-03-07T05:28:00.000+07:002007-03-07T05:28:00.000+07:00Cool!
