Ramil R. Marcos’ “Resonance of Bartolome de las Casas’ Thoughts in Leonardo Boff’s Theology” follows Boff’s bold attempt to marry Trinitarian theology, often thought to be lofty and inaccessible, to grassroots Liberation Theology. The aim is to arrive at a way of understanding this central mystery of faith, which is both rooted in and relevant to people’s experiences. In the second part of the article, he highlights what he perceives to be vestiges of this relatively recent theology in the life and work of the great Dominican missionary, Bartolome de las Casas. What makes this article a riveting read is the striking similarity between the suffering and oppression experienced by the peoples of Latin America and the native Indians to the heart-wrenching contexts of our people today, which was further exacerbated by the pandemic. As such, the critique offered a path to find resonance in our situation as well. – from the Associate Editor’s Preface
