La cruz bajo secuestro: Una mirada a la teología de la cruz desde la teología de la liberación

This article is part of a series of papers from the same author, which have the genitive “seizure”. “Maria under seizure”, “Hell under seizure” and this paper, want to help to create
awareness that on occasions the Christian dogma has been carried to levels of abstraction
so far from their origins, that they have served to enslave, dominate and dehumanize the
evangelical experience of many ordinary men and women. The expression “seizure” wants
to aim, then, at the necessity of liberating the dogma so it can fulfill its function of liberation
and humanization. All these papers are in the path and inspiration of Uruguayan theologian Juan Luis Segundo, who in the logic of Liberation Theology proposes a “dogma that
liberates”.
