Abstract
"For the sake of precision it is important to use the plural because there is not just one theological approach that could be labelled 'liberation theology'. After 20 years it is evident that some of the most radical forms of this theology, which were mainly forged within the academic world with no relation to the life of the church, are in a process of extinction. Such would be the case of authors like Hugo Assman or Sergio Arce. There is, however, a line of liberation theology that has strived to keep related to the life of the churches, with their pastoral and missiological problems. That has been the line exemplified by Gustavo Gutterrez, which evidently is going to last even if it takes new forms. Where is this liberation theology going in this decade? "
