Liberation and Providence: Decolonial Trajectories in the Work of Gustavo Gutiérrez

Following An Yountae’s insights on the necessary inclusion of Latin American Liberation Theology in current discourses on decoloniality, this presentation explores to what extent the work of Gustavo Gutiérrez might be understood as decolonial in its trajectory. By tracing Gutiérrez's accounts of liberation (its three levels) and providence (how God intervenes and acts in the world), this presentation investigates how decolonial reconstitutions of theological knowing arise in his work.
