VALENZUELA OSORIO, Vicente. What challenges does the Amazonian Synod present to theology? Conceiving the problem from the possible challenges to the epistemological status of theology. Franciscanum [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.175, pp.13-13.  Epub 01-Maio-2021. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.5225.

The challenges that the Synod of the Amazon presents to theology are worked on the horizon of the question of the epistemological status of theology, based on the use of some metaphors used by the texts of the Synod. This work requires the assumption of a key to intertextual reading and a method that justifies the centrality of metaphors and their dynamic lending in relation to the theological foundation («everything is related», «integral ecology», «indigenous mysticism»). The metaphors used by the synodal documents give theology something to think about in relation to its internal constitution. They open the way for it to be understood in a different way. This is the case of: ecclesiology, the proper of theological language, the conversions and attitudes for the work of theology, the place of rituality and the value of the local in relation to the intellectus of the mystery and the deposit of faith, interculturality and synodality, among others.
