Este artículo propone objetivar el paradigma de la teología de la liberación (TL), como fenómeno sociopolítico contemporáneo característico de la relación entre la religión (en ese caso el cristianismo) y la política, en América latina. Aquí, el planteamiento central consiste en sostener que la TL constituyó un sistema propio, el cual tiene aún hoy presencia e impacto social. Ese sistema debe ser entendido en la singularidad de sus lógicas sociales e ideológicas. Su análisis no puede ser reducido a intereses teóricos y modelos externos, ni someterse a los propios mitos de los actores. En primer lugar, se define la pertinencia de la aplicación de la noción de paradigma a la teología de la liberación y se reconstruye su genealogía dentro del catolicismo contemporáneo, así como el contexto social, político e ideológico del cual surgió. En segundo lugar, se delimita el modelo paradigmático de la TL, diferenciado de su genealogía y de su entorno, para identificar sus evoluciones sucesivas y diversas expresiones hasta la actualidad. ; This article proposes to objectify the liberation theology (LT) paradigm, as a contemporary social-political phenomenon of the relationship between religion (in this case, Christianity) and politics in Latin America. The core statement alleges that LT built its own system, which has still presence and social impact. Such system is to be understood in the singularity of its social and ideological logics. The analysis of it cannot be reduced to theoretical interests and external models without submitting to the actors' own myths. First, the relevance of applying the paradigm notion to the liberation theology is defined and its genealogy is rebuilt within the contemporary Catholicism, as well as the social, political, and ideological context from which it arose. Then, the LT paradigmatic model is determined, differentiated from its genealogy and environment, in order to identify its successive evolutions and various expressions up to the present.

The political practice is at the core of the personal and ecclesial Christian experience. This dynamic has as its absolute the historical faith in JESUS within the execution of popular sovereignty building common good, the separation between Church and State, the prevalence of ethics and law, the realization of the preference option by poor people, the constitution of an authority and the obtaining of minimum political consensus at local, national and international level. The theological ethical background of all this issue from the bible, the ecclesial tradition and the commitment of contemporary Christian community, is the goal of this article. ; La praxis política es parte constitutiva y esencial de la vivencia cristiana tanto personal como eclesial. Esta dinámica se distingue por tener como absoluto la experiencia histórica de JESÚS en el ejercicio de la soberanía popular (la cual busca la construcción del bien común), la separación entre la Iglesia y el Estado, la prevalecía de la ética y el derecho, la realización de la opción preferencial por los pobres y la constitución de una autoridad y de consensos políticos mínimos a nivel local, nacional e internacional. Cual sea el fundamento ético teológico de todo este devenir desde el hecho bíblico, la tradición eclesial y el compromiso de la comunidad cristiana contemporánea, conforma el objetivo de este artículo.

Aqui, o postulado consiste em sustentar que a TL constituiu um sistema próprio, o qual tem ainda hoje presença e impacto social. Esse sistema deve ser entendido na singularidade de suas lógicas sociais e ideológicas. A sua análise não pode ser reduzida a interesses teóricas e modelos externos, nem a submeter-se aos próprios mitos dos atores. Em primeiro lugar, define-se pertinência da aplicação da noção de paradigma à teologia da liberação e se reconstrói sua genealogia dentro do catolicismo contemporâneo, assim como o contexto social, político e ideológico do qual surgiu. Em segundo lugar, se delimita o modelo paradigmático da TL, diferenciado de sua genealogia e de seu entorno, para identificar suas evoluções sucessivas e diversas expressões até a atualidade.

El presente artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre la postura ideológica de la Iglesia Cristiana Menonita frente al proceso de paz en Colombia. Mediante un análisis de los discursos orales de sus integrantes y sus publicaciones, abordo su fundamentación doctrinal, su propuesta de participación política y sus estrategias de formación para la paz. Se trata de un estudio de caso que acude a las entrevistas semiestructuradas y al análisis de textos. Concluyo que los menonitas, desde una postura no partidista, quieren incidir políticamente en la construcción de paz en Colombia. ; This article presents the results of research into the ideological position of the Mennonite Christian Church in the face of the peace process in Colombia. Through an analysis of the oral speeches of its members and its publications, its doctrinal foundation, its proposal for political participation and its strategies for peace formation are addressed. This is a case study that resorts to semi-structured interviews and text analysis. In conclusion, Mennonites, from a nonpartisan stance, want to influence politically the construction of peace in Colombia.

This study aims to answer the question whether Christian Orthodoxy can inspire political movements. In so doing we start from the political theories of modernity where the link between Christianity and democracy is central. Our result sounds unexpected: interaction between Orthodoxy and democracy seems to not have a perspective. It is too late for it since most political movements in post-communism do not have the religious identity of their members as criterion. The situation was not different before. As an example the effort of the orthodox theologians and laymen in Romania before the outbreak of the Second World War is quoted here. Almost without an exception all focused and restricted their interest on the question of the nation. Therein we see the principal reason for the above postulated perspective of an orthodox political doctrine until now. On the European level the situation looks also no better. Even the parties, which attribute themselves the Christian values, have at present large difficulties to convey their message. It remains only to hope that the political actors rediscover the social and actively support the Christian ethics in the public area. Only so can democracy be regarded as one of the most important binding forces also under the Christians.

It is not easy for the Byzantine case the distinction between spiritualpower and earthly power. The gap between them is so narrow that the analysisof political phenomena is difficult: the Church and the State argue both thebody and soul of a society. Understanding the political phenomenon particularlyByzantine, to avoid anachronistic interpretations and judgments requires carefulreview of the sources, within which the works of Eusebius of Caesarea and"Prince Mirrors" are references to extraordinary scientific value. ; No resulta fácil para el caso bizantino la distinción entre poderespiritual y poder terrenal. La brecha que los separa es tan estrecha que el análisisdel fenómeno político se dificulta: la Iglesia y el Estado sostienen a la vez el cuerpoy el alma de una misma sociedad. La comprensión del particular fenómeno políticobizantino, a fin de evitar interpretaciones y juicios anacrónicos, exige la revisióncuidadosa de las fuentes, dentro de las cuales las obras de Eusebio de Cesarea ylos "Espejos de Príncipe" constituyen referencias de extraordinario valor científico.
