Abstract

VELA,, JESÚS ANDRÉS. REFLECTIONS OF A "PASTORALIST" THEOLOGIAN ON THEOLOGY. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2009, vol.59, n.167, pp.17-40. ISSN 0120-3649.

After thirty years of teaching activity, the author questions himself on the meaning of theological reflection. After admitting the importance of the three basic considerations -the fundamental theology as fides quaerens intellectum, the theology-wisdom as reflection (that provides an interpretive code for the discernment of being Christian in the world) and theology as praxis for a liberating transformation toward God's reign in a world of oppression and sin-, he accords a special interest to the two last mentioned in the present situation of atheism and dehumanization.

Keywords : Fundamental theology; theology-wisdon, theology of praxis; action theology.
