Description
Summary:This article explores Gregory Baum’s contributions both as an editor and as a theologian to the journal The Ecumenist, which he founded in 1962. It explores the original orientation that he set for it of forwarding ecumenism, then how this changed in the 1970s, when The Ecumenist became a journal devoted to critical theology. It then examines the contributions Baum made to this journal through his own writing. This provided a critical Christian witness that sought to keep pace with the changing faces of evil in Western societies and churches and to relate Jesus to these in liberating ways.
Cet article explore les contributions de Gregory Baum à la fois en tant qu’éditeur et en tant que théologien à la revue The Ecumenist, qu’il a fondée en 1962. Il explore l’orientation originale qu’il lui a donnée afin de faire avancer l’oecuménisme, puis comment cela a changé dans les années 1970, lorsque The Ecumenist est devenu une revue consacrée à la théologie critique. Il examine ensuite les contributions que Baum a apportées à ce journal à travers ses propres écrits. Cela a fourni un témoignage chrétien critique qui a cherché à suivre le rythme des visages changeants du mal dans les sociétés et les églises occidentales et à relier Jésus à ceux-ci de manière libératrice.
