For this purpose, initially, following the epistemological orientation of Max Weber, values that guide social action of these members were analyzed.

Finally, we conducted a field survey in two communities: Maria Mãe dos Migrantes and São José Operário.

Em seguida, procurou-se identificar os objetivos dos leigos por meio da interpretação dos documentos produzidos pelos Encontros Intereclesiais de CEBs.

A Igreja teve grande influência e participação na formação do MST, pois a partir da Teologia da Libertação é que a Igreja faz a ―opção preferencial pelos pobres‖, atribuindo ao pobre o papel de sujeito transformador de sua própria realidade social, trazendo, desta maneira, esperança à luta dos que não têm terra e impulsionando essas pessoas a lutarem pela reforma agrária. Além disso, a Igreja exerceu um papel fundamental na legitimação da luta pela terra no Brasil através da disseminação de uma ideologia político-religiosa, em que a Terra ―é uma dádiva de Deus‖, ―é um bem de todos‖. Sendo a organização e as formas de luta pela reforma agrária, desenvolvidas pelo MST, legitimadas pela Teologia da Libertação, torna-se objetivo central deste trabalho identificar as manifestações ideológicas da Teologia da Libertação na luta pela reforma agrária. A hipótese deste trabalho é a de que a ideologia da Teologia da Libertação, a qual é constituída por um conjunto de concepções, se manifesta nos discursos e nas práticas sociais dos moradores dos assentamentos 24 de Novembro e 25 de Outubro, justificando a luta pela reforma agrária e estruturando uma relação de Afinidade eletiva entre Igreja e MST. / This work presents an analysis of the ideological manifestations of the Liberation Theology in the agrarian reform fight. The church had great influence e participation in the MST formation, because it‘s from the Liberation Theology that the church does the ―preferential option for the poor‖, attributing to the poor the role of subject transformer of his own social reality, bringing, on this way, hope to the fight of the ones that not have land and stimulating these people to the agrarian reform fight. Moreover, the church exercised a fundamental part in the legitimating for the land fight in Brazil, through of the disseminating of a politic religious ideology, where the land ―is a God gift‖, ―is a common good‖. Being the organization and agrarian reform fight ways, developed by MST, legitimated by Liberation Theology, becomes the central objective of this work identify the ideological manifestations of the Liberation Theology in agrarian reform fight. The hypothesis of this work is that the Liberation Theology ideology's, which is constituted by a conceptions set‘s, it manifests in the speeches and social practices of the 24 de Novembro and 25 de Outubro settlements' dwellers, justifying the agrarian reform fight and structuring an elective affinity‘s relations between the church and MST.

In relation to this kind of musical work produced in Brazil, authors like João Dias de Araújo, Jaci Maraschin and others are mentioned. This thesis also intends to stimulate a reflection on two theological legacies. The first one arrived in Brazil with the missionaries who came from United States in the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the second is the one left by the first hymn book edited in Brazil called Psalms and Hymns. / Esta tese tem como foco a influência da Teologia da Libertação na música protestante feita no Brasil durante as décadas de 1960, 1970 e 1980 e as possíveis razões que este contexto religioso em questão teve a ainda tem dificuldades em desenvolver uma canção que trate de assuntos relacionados com temas sociais, como é proposto pela Teologia da Libertação. Com relação a este tipo de trabalho musical produzido no Brasil, autores como João Dias de Araújo, Jaci Maraschin e outros são mencionados. Esta tese tem também a intenção de estimular a reflexão em torno de dois legados teológicos. O primeiro é aquele que chegou ao Brasil com os missionários vindos dos Estados Unidos no começo do século dezenove, e o segundo é aquele deixado pelo primeiro hinário editado no Brasil chamado Salmos e Hinos.

This thesis examines current radical liberal Christian activism in the Southern United States through focusing upon a particular intentional community located in Atlanta, Georgia, The Open Door Community. Through praxis and reflection, this community has developed its own unique practice and theology that I have termed “Liberation Gospel.” This thesis analyzes and describes a unique community in order to understand where the community succeeds, and where it does not, in putting its theological beliefs into practice. This very liberal community does not distinguish between their politics and their theology.

Guatemalan Kairos chronicles the rise of the discourse of liberation in Guatemala’s Catholic Church in the decade following the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). In these years, as this study reveals, faith and human history comprised a double helix, constituting two interdependent and mutually supporting sides of the same soteriological vision. Rooted in Vatican II’s call to read the “signs of the times,” this historically conscious theological framework not only propelled Guatemala’s burgeoning progressive Catholic Church to redirect its pastoral practices toward the poor and the marginalized, especially Guatemala’s indigenous majority through an indigenized Catholicism. That new approach also sought to reshape the nation’s history by redrawing its socioeconomic, epistemological, and cultural landscape, in part through the formation of socially engaged lay leaders (catechists). Scholarship on the liberationist church has largely focused on how, as Guatemala’s Cold War civil war (1960-1996) sunk to its nadir in the late 1970s, state repression targeted the church as “subversive.” This dissertation, by contrast, seeks to step back from this prevailing attention on later repression to reconstruct the social and cultural liberative imagination prior to this religious revolution and state counterrevolution. In so doing, it cautions against historical interpretations that have ineluctably connected liberationist praxis in the decade after Vatican II to the—often catechist-led—armed or covert revolutionary activity of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Moreover, intensified by the defeat of the Guatemalan Left, the post-Peace Accords (December 1996) entrenchment of neoliberalism has brought hard times for critical historical consciousness. Indeed, as this study’s concluding chapter outlines, how to read the signs of the current historically fragmented times and craft a narrative for liberation amid today’s deep structural injustice remains a formidable obstacle. Perhaps the most daunting hurdle in this endeavor is to raise awareness of the need itself, particularly given that Guatemala’s historical record remains confronted by the perils inherent in harnessing faith and history in order to shape contemporary circumstances. / text

This work explores the interreligious paradigms proposed by Sri Lankan theologian Aloysius Pieris from a liberationist methodological standpoint. Pieris' paradigms uncover the exclusivist tendencies of some liberation theology toward 'religion' and the anti-liberative tendencies of the inculturationist school of interreligious dialogue. / The Christ-against-Religion paradigm delineates how some Latin American liberation theology constructs a sharp dichotomy between "liberative faith" and "popular religion." / The Christ-of-Religion paradigm of the Brahminic Ashram movement in India is focused on personal liberation without regard for systemic poverty and oppression. / Pieris has endeavoured to bridge the dichotomy between liberation and inculturation through what I have labelled a method of prophetic asceticism . / Using insights from feminist theology, I argue that Pieris' dialectical method subtly reactivates the oppositional Christ-against-Religion paradigm in his theology. I propose the Exodus wilderness as an intrinsic part of the liberative process and to complement Pieris' dialectics. The wilderness is a landscape of survival for God's vanquished people; a landscape of doubt that can bring forth the bread of heaven.
