Gustavo Gutiérrez Merino, O.P., (born 8 June 1928 in Lima) is a Peruvian theologian and Dominican priest regarded as the founder of liberation theology. He holds the John Cardinal O'Hara Professorship of Theology at the University of Notre Dame. He began studying in the faculty of medicine of the National University of San Marcos in Peru in order to become a psychiatrist, then he realized he wanted to become a priest. He has been professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and a visiting professor at many major universities in North America and Europe.〔 Gutiérrez is also a member of the Peruvian Academy of Language, and in 1993 he was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government for his tireless work. In 2002 Gutiérrez was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 2003 he received the prestigious Príncipe de Asturias award. He has also published in and been a member of the board of directors of the international journal, ''Concilium''. Gutierrez spent much of his life living and working among the poor and oppressed of Lima. He has studied medicine and literature (Peru), psychology and philosophy (Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium), and obtained a doctorate at the Institut Pastoral d'Etudes Religieuses (IPER), Catholic University of Lyon. Gutiérrez is of Native American heritage, being of mixed Quechua and Spanish descent. Gutiérrez's groundbreaking work, ''A Theology of Liberation: History, Politics, Salvation'' (1971), explains his notion of Christian poverty as an act of loving solidarity with the poor as well as a liberatory protest against poverty. ==Youth and training== Afflicted in adolescence with osteomyelitis, Gutiérrez was frequently bed-ridden and had to use a wheelchair from age 12 to 18. When his condition improved he studied medicine and humanities in Peru while also militating with Catholic Action, where he developed his first outlines of theological reflection. It was in this period that he felt the need to go deeper with his theological studies. His relationship with the realities of his country became a commitment which obliged him to deepen his knowledge of God: : I shared with friends the urge to know more christian doctrine and to know it better. It was… training which we saw as a necessary condition for action according to the famous principle: "No-one can give what he doesn't have. He studied theology in various European universities, having as teachers Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, Marie-Dominique Chenu and Christian Ducoq. Being in touch with modern European theology gave him access to the theologians of the Second Vatican Council, in addition to those already mentioned, Edward Schillebeeckx, Karl Rahner, Hans Küng and Johann Baptist Metz. In contact and dialogue with the world of Protestant theology, he came to know the work of Karl Barth thoroughly and he also maintained an interest in theologians like Jürgen Moltmann and Dietrich Bonhoeffer and in social scientists like François Perroux. Gutiérrez was ordained a priest in 1959. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gustavo Gutiérrez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
