Theologizing Latinamente: Had Anselm Known Us!

THEOLOGY; CHURCH; BIBLE; EPISCOPAL Church; FAITH

After a historical and cultural grounding of Prosper of Aquitaine’s lex orandi, lex credendi and of Anselm of Canterbury’s notion that theology is fldes quarens intellectum, this article examines the importance of constructing an Episcopal Latinoa theology that is clearly validated by the academy but whose most important validation comes from the people who are the church. Teología de conjunto (or teología en conjunto,) demands and expects theologians’ grounding location to be ivithin lo cotidiano of our people. To theologize latinamente, therefore, is a movement, a contextual perspective, and a methodological approach to theologizing within Christian theology, distinguished by a cultural, critical, contextual, justice-seeking, and noninnocent interpretation o f Scripture, tradition and doctrine, society and church, and. history. It is intent on acknowledging and honoring Latinoa cultures, histories, and stories as legitimate and necessary sources o f Christian theology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Después de unafundamentación histórica y cidtural de la idea de Próspero de Aquitania, lex orandi, lex credendi y de Anselmo de Canterbury, que la teología es fldes quarens intellectum, este artículo examine la importancia de construir una teología latinoa episcopal que esté claramente validada por la academia, pero cuya validación más importante proviene de las personas que son la iglesia. La teología de conjunto (o teología en conjunto) exige y espera que la ubicación básica de los teologos se encuentre dentro de lo cotidiano de nuestra gente. Por lo tanto, teologizar latinamente es un movimiento, una perspectiva contextual y un enfoque metodológico para la teología dentro de la teología cristiana, que se distingue por una interpretation cultural, crítica, contextual, de búsqueda dejusticia y no inocente de las Escrituras, la tradition y la doctrina, la sociedad y la iglesia, y la historia. Su intentión es reconocer y honrar las culturas, e historias latinoas comofuentes legítimas y necesarias de la teología cristiana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
