Abstract
This is an exciting time for liberation theology. Over the past five decades, the discourse has grown deep roots, and countless people throughout the world have been inspired by and involved in what is now a truly global movement. But if liberation theology is to have any kind of future, it must continue to respond to new questions and challenges, and it must continue to deepen, clarify, and expand its basic methodological, philosophical, and theological presuppositions. Such tasks will no doubt involve a number of constituencies and theoretical orientations. My own modest contribution is to show how liberation thought may benefit from the insights of a contextually grounded, socially engaged, and non-reductionistic discourse like pragmatism.
