Some Issues of Major Concern in Theological Education in Cuba, the Caribbean, and the U.S.

Abstract

For many years we here in Cuba have debated whether Cuban theology is or is not a theology of liberation. Therefore we have referred to our Cuban theology in different ways a theology in revolution, a theology of hope, and by many other names. I think that Cuban theology is similar to the theology of liberation in the rest of Latin America, but it has a different context because of the political, economic and social situation of Cuba. Thus our emphasis is in accord with the Cuban situation. Because most Latin American and Caribbean countries are politically oppressed, their emphasis is on political liberation. Here in Cuba we have been a little confused in that regard. Some of us sometimes have said in the past that Cuban theology is liberated or, because we are living in a context of liberation, our country
is completely liberated from all the situations of oppression, etc.
