| Sumario: | The purpose of this study is to present the relationship established
between liberation and martyrdom in the Salvadorean Church. The angle of analysis
is the theological biographies of Óscar Romero and Ignacio Ellacuría, both martyrs of
El Salvador. The method of biographical theology proceeds through contextual
interpretations of lives and works of its characters. To do this, it takes into account
his writings, studied with a hermeneutic of comparative analysis with other sources,
taken from historical and ethnographic sciences. The method of theological
biography, in this case, allows theology not only to verify the announcement of the
Kingdom as proposed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but also discovers a new
contribution in the way of interpreting these nuclei of Christian revelation.
Liberation and martyrdom are fundamental realities for liberation theology, and
they endow it with a specific direction and pathos. Their commitment and
denunciation of social injustice constitute a prophetic dimension that serves as a
model for an entire local church and in particular for the ordained ministry. |
