VG in orig. wrapper. 118 p.; 20 cm. `In spite of the fact that he is a North American, Princeton Seminary Professor of Ecumenics Richard Shaull in sonsidered a legitimate and articulate spokesman for the Latin American left. In many respects he is the most extreme, but at the same time he is the most profound and the most prolific of the group. Although the sources for this analysis are not exhaustive, they nevertheless show a development of thought in Shaull that parallels to a certain degree the thinking of the whole school. Back in 1953, Shaull's writings were fairly evangelical. Then by 1955 he was developing the idea of God's speaking to us "in the events of history," which must be seen "through the eyes of faith." This is the beginning of a process of secularization of theology in which Shaull came to see human institutions as expressions of man's sin and a subsequent need for God to pronounce judgment on them and offer "salvation" to the social structures themselves. With this rejection of the eschatological urgency of the mission of the church in the world, Shaull makes a decisive break from evangelical theology. It is quite remarkable that he feels that by rejecting the urgency of saving people from hell he is being faithful to the Bible.' (p. 53-55). Binding is Paperbound.
