| biography:
| Jesuit liberation theologian, born in Montevideo, Uruguay. After studying in Argentina and Europe, he became director of the Pedro Fabbro Institute of socio-religious research in Montevideo. He advocates employing a ‘hermeneutical circle’, in which the questioning of prevailing ideological and theological assumptions that govern the received way of interpreting Scripture leads to new understanding. His major exposition of liberation theology is Jesus of Nazareth Yesterday and Today (5 vols, 1984–8). |
