Abstract

This article is based on the theological and epistemological thought of Claude Geffré, highlighting his contribution to Latin American Theology. It aims to emphasize that Theology, as hermeneutics, is a structuring dimension of theological practice in which numerous elements and dynamics in the context of faith need to be interpreted according to the context in which they are received. All Theology is always hermeneutics as it goes through processes of reception, acceptance and acceptance in a community of faith. Latin American Theology arises as an interpellation and interpretation between the gospel and social reality. Thus, there is an interlocution between Geffré’s way of doing Theology – methodology and Epistemology – and Latin American Theology. This article will highlight this theological relationship, presenting the implications of his thought and the relationship with the Latin American Tradition.

KEYWORDS: Epistemology. Hermeneutics. Geffré. Latin American Theology.
