Toward an ecological theology of liberation -- Integrated ecology: a liberationist concept -- Reading Genesis theologically in a political-ecological key -- The jubilee of liberation -- Making and sustaining the planetrary emergency -- Bearing witness to a humane world.
Summary:
As an extension of the ideas presented in Gustavo Gutiérrez’s A Theology of Liberation, Daniel Castillo proposes the embrace of a green liberation theology. Such a theology recognizes the need for political and ideological paradigm shifts in relation to globalization, and Castillo grounds this call to conversion in the Christian mystery of salvation. He places Gustavo Gutiérrez in dialogue with a diverse array of theological, ecological, and socio-scientific discourses, paying special attention to Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’. The central question of this project is: What is the relationship between salvation, human liberation, and care for creation?
