Resucitó!
April 12, 2009
“Jesus’ resurrection is hope, first of all, for those crucified in history. God raised a crucified man, and since then there is hope for the crucified.”
– Jon Sobrino, Christ the Liberator: A View from the Victims (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books), 43.

Thanks for the thought-provoking quote and the beautiful illustration too.
I have not looked too far into liberation theology myself, but it’s certainly within the purview of this blog and I would like to hear more about it from you, if you are so inclined, or from others. It would seem that liberation theology has a bearing on almost everything discussed on this blog. Does it deserve a hearing here beyond what it has gotten so far? And what should I know about it as a Catholic in the early 21st century?
David – I think most of us here are sympathetic to some of the claims of liberation theology in one way or another. For me, it lies behind most of what I write here. I’d be happy to blog more directly about liberation theologies in the future. Thanks for the request, and for the questions, which should focus the posts somewhat.
Someone said that the churches have made the resurrection a remote fairy-tale because they have sealed off their preaching from real life situations. That is where liberation theology shines.
We are liberated and resurrected. We are real-life and fairy tale. We are question, we are creed.
