This collection of essays was written to mark the fortieth
anniversary of the Second General Conference of Latin American
Bishops, which convened at Medellin, Colombia, in 1968. Inspired by
the Second Vatican Council and seeking to implement its vision, the
bishops viewed the occasion as a decisive one for Latin America,
which they saw as standing 'on the threshold of a new epoch in the
history of our continent'. It appears to have been a time full of
zeal for emancipation, of liberation from every form of servitude,
of personal maturity and of collective integration. Forty years
later, however, it is appropriate to remember the event and to
review the significance of liberation theology in light of all that
has happened during the intervening period. The colloquium at the
Milltown Institute, Dublin, which led to this book, sought to do
precisely that: to establish where liberation theology now stands
by questioning whether it really is a significant theological and
ecclesial movement or merely a moment whose time has passed, and to
investigate its enduring legacy.
