| Summary: | This article discusses what Segundo means by “the liberation of theology” and considers his emphasis on the importance of the social sciences in the theological enterprise. It then reviews the four stages of Segundo's hermeneutical circle, using one of his examples, the work of James Cone. The model of a four-stage hermeneutical circle is then applied to four works by Aboriginal authors: Kevin Gilbert, Anne Pattel-Gray, Aileen Moreton Robinson and the Rainbow Spirit Elders. In each case a liberating process is seen as taking place; and in each case, at least to some extent, the stages of Segundo's circle can be discerned. |
