For almost three months I had been listening to both Gustavo and to Bartolome, trying to keep up with their theological reasoning, which at certain moments would become a single voice across time. I had begun to realize that my own story as a Salvadoran was embedded into a much longer colonial history that spans 500 years in the Americas. But also, for the first time, that day I felt that theology held a grammar and an expansive vocabulary for speaking of my people\u2019s living faith in the midst of violence and death. In the ordinariness of that afternoon, God-talk (theology) became alive, a living discourse of a God of life. As I learned of the ways that theology had been forced into servitude of condemnations, enslavements, and death, especially of the smallest and most forgotten as Las Casas would say, I began to hear the call to do theology that in freedom serves the ecclesial task of liberation, sanctification and the protection of life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4507\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4507\" style=\"width: 536px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/?attachment_id=4507\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4507\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4507 \" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"536\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez-2-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gustavo Guti\u00e9rrez is a Peruvian philosopher, Catholic theologian and Dominican priest.

Gustavo says that \u201cspirituality is a manner of life that gives a profound unity to our prayer, thought, and action,\u201d<span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/span> and it was this profound unity that I had not previously experienced as the beating heart of theology. With one voice, across the centuries, Gustavo and Bartolome revealed that I could begin to do theology in light of my historical commitments, out of my community\u2019s experience of war and forced migration, and in relation to my generation\u2019s struggles with the mystery of God. To be liberated to do theology for the sake of the integral liberation of God\u2019s people is a responsibility and a blessing. It is an invitation to the biblical \u201ccome and see,\u201d a way of living that is attuned to what God has already done, is doing, and asks us to do in the ongoing re-creation of the world. This gift of doing theology, which I have received in faith, is what I attempt to pass on to my own students.<\/p>\n<p>At Fordham University, I<span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fordham.edu\/academics\/departments\/theology\/leo-guardado\/\"> teach a doctoral seminar<\/a><\/span> titled \u201cDoing Theology with Gustavo Guti\u00e9rrez\u201d where we read all of his works in chronological order to discern what changed through the years, what concepts were developed further, and to trace new insights that came into being in light of the ecclesial and political context that began to persecute this new way of doing theology from the perspective of the poor and insignificant. Inevitably, we come to the harrowing insight that a theology that communicates the God of life is a dangerous theology, as is evident when we remember why archbishop Oscar Romero was killed in March 1980, or the US churchwomen in December 1980, or the Jesuit community and their housekeeper and daughter at the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) in San Salvador in November 1989. The list could go on, not only in El Salvador but across Latin America, but the point is not simply that people have been killed, but that they have been killed for their living faith and enfleshed proclamation of a God who lives and dies with the poor and persecuted. This is dangerous God-talk, but it is also the means for a genuine encounter with the mystery of God in the modern world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4516\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4516\" style=\"width: 537px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/?attachment_id=4516\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4516\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4516\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez.png\" alt=\"Gustavo Guti\u00e9rrez\u2019 \" width=\"537\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez.png 1000w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Guiterrez-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Theological insights emerging from Latin America have left an indelible mark upon both Christianity and public policy.

Photo courtesy of Leo Guardado, Ph.D.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gustavo Guti\u00e9rrez\u2019 writings are part of the rich tradition of thinking Christian faith in modernity, in relation to politics, to salvation, to what it means to be church, to rethinking spirituality and mysticism, and to living into the wounds and laments of history from where prophetic words may be uttered, the same living words that also led to Jesus\u2019 death. In passing on Guti\u00e9rrez\u2019 intellectual and spiritual legacy, my hope is that students have a unifying encounter with the God of life to which his texts point, and with the poor and insignificant who are at the heart of his theology. This, I believe, is a credible faith worth passing on to new generations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">[1]<\/span><\/a>.
