SILVA, EZEQUIEL MARTÍN. The question of method in Theology and the Latin American contribution in the proposal of see-judge-act. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2022, vol.49, n.111, pp.69-93.  Epub 28-Sep-2022. ISSN 0120-131X.  https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v49n111.a07.

Based on a rereading of the history of theological methods in Christian theology, the author intends to indicate the background and the context of emergence of the theological-pastoral method known as "see-judge-act." By virtue of this, a diachronic investigation of the method in theology is presented, divided into three great historical stages: patristic, scholastic and modern. This diachronic view is complemented by a synchronic approach that includes the analysis of the classical systematization of the theological method in terms of auditus fidei and intellectus fidei, which had significant contemporary reworkings of which a succinct account is provided. Various theological, ecclesial and historical-social circumstances, both in Europe and in Latin America, facilitated the emergence of the theological-pastoral method "see-judge-act," whose development achieved a particular consolidation from the contributions of Latin American Liberation Theology (LALT). It was presented (in the late 1960s and early 1970s) with a radical epistemological novelty both due to its inductive nature and the incorporation of socioanalytic mediation at the starting point. The Second Vatican Council, Medellín, and the developments of the social sciences in the 1960s and 1970s-within the framework of a historical context marked by profound and dramatic transformations-gave definitive life to this method that has been incorporated, even, in documents of the pontifical magisterium. However, it is challenged to continue deepening and critically reviewing itself, in light of the contributions of contemporary critical theories.
