Trabajo e historicidad en la teología de Marie Dominique Chenu

Abstract

History, a fundamental element of Christianity because of the dynamics of incarnation, was relegated to a second place by the abstract Theology of Neoscholasticism. Contrary to such Theology, Father Marie-Dominique Chenu, O. P. (1895-1990), attends to the revealed fact and to the new social context in the preaching of the Gospel. His Theology grows in the Church's tradition while being aware of the problems that afflict the industrialized society. The article proposes the concept of "conscientious function of historicity in Theology" as an interpretive key to Chenu's medieval and contemporary research.
