LUCCHETTI BINGEMER, María Clara. Challenges and Tasks of Theology in Latin America Today. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2012, vol.62, n.174, pp.399-432. ISSN 0120-3649.

In face of the increasingly changing and plural society and cultural landscape, theology is currently challenged to rethink and mostly to reconfigure itself. To this end, the main task is to identify the challenges, to capture their content and to sense the potential interfaces that they offer with respect to the reflection on the revelation and faith that is what theology actually is. Next, we may and must highlight the features or proposals that theology should present if seeking to respond to such situation, with the purpose of not falling into an empty discourse but giving an answer consistent with the contemporary demands. Such is the proposal of this article.

Keywords : theology; mysticism; option for the poor; pluralism; culture.
