Paulus and Gustavo : Religious Socialism and Liberation Theology |  |
Ronald H. Stone
Volume 44, numéro 2 (juin 1988) (p. 155-167)
The paper is sympathetic to the religious socialist writing of both Paul Tillich and Gustavo Gutiérrez. It joins the dialogue within the two concepts of justice and revolution. In the German revolutionary context Tillich’s writing on justice was dominated by the concept of “expectation,” in Gutiérrez’s Peruvian context the concept of “liberation” has dominated the concept of justice. Tillich’s enthusiasm for revolution mellowed, and he elaborated his concept of justice in the context of the post-World War II political situation of the U.S.A. Gutiérrez’s social thought is in transition due to the changing Peruvian and Latin American situation. Both social theologies remain powerful expressions of the struggle for justice and need exploration for the hope they offer in contexts beyond their own.
