| Summary: | How can one speak of God's love when so many innocent people suffer in Latin America, or in societies torn apart by forms of neo-colonial violence in Africa? Where can we find a credible symbol of God's saving presence in Asia? These are questions faced by the three theologians in this study: Jean-Marc Ela from Cameroon, Aloysius Pieris from Sri Lanka and Gustavo Gutierrez from Peru. These theologians maintain that God's revelation is known not only through the Word in Scripture, but also through human effort which puts God's love revealed in Christ into practice. Their stress on "living the incarnation" allows them to see the liberative activity of God and the struggle of the poor as united in one saving reality. Following Jesus, in striving for life and liberation in the face of death discloses new ways to understand the Word as a Word of life in Africa, the harmony between the Word and silence in Asia and the Word addressed to those reduced to silence in Latin America. |
