This book analyzes the theological method of liberation theologian Enrique Dussel and, by comparing it with the meta-method of Bernard Lonergan, establishes a paradigm for international theological dialogue. The author suggests that Dussel's non-reductionist understanding of liberation and Lonergan's understanding of the subject-as-subject provide a methodological foundation for critical dialogue between Latin American and North American theologians. The methodological maturation of liberation theology rehearsed in this study suggests how the insights of Latin American theology demand the development of an indigenous form of North American theology of liberation. Roberto S. Goizueta is the Margaret O'Brien Flatley Professor Emeritus of Catholic Theology at Boston College. He is a former President of the Catholic Theological Society of America and the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States.
