ATUALIDADE DA TEOLOGIA DA LIBERTA？ó

this article deals with the current state of the theology of liberation. it starts explaining the double sense of the expression liberation theology (theological praxis-theological theory) and the "central intuitions" which internally characterize and structure it (primacy of praxis and the perspective of the poor/oppressed). then, it is contrasted with the current issues facing this theology (presence, visibility, relevance, appropriateness). finally, the text presents its most important and fundamental challenges: god's partiality regarding the poor, faith as the realization of god's will, the problems of mediation, the theological-prophetical character of popular struggles, and the relation between theory and praxis.
