Movimiento pentecostal y comunidades de base en América Latina: La recepción de conceptos teológicos de liberación a través de la teología pentecostal. Editado por Michael Bergunder by Michael Bergunder — last modified 2009-01-11 21:24

A lo largo del siglo XX, el movimiento pentecostal se ha desarrollado como uno de los elementos del cristianismo más dinámicos a nivel mundial. Algunos observadores calculan que el 20 % de la cristiandad mundial pertenece al cristianismo pentecostal-carismático. Uno de los centros de crecimiento pentecostal es América Latina. Según cálculos conservadores, entre 11 y 15 % de los habitantes de América Latina eran protestantes, de los cuales la mayoría de ellos serían pentecostales. Las estadísticas de los últimos decenios muestran un constante crecimiento de los protestantes entre la población, lo cual en primera instancia se atribuye a los grandes éxitos de la propaganda misionera del movimiento pentecostal. Incluso, hay observadores que señalan que en algunos países de América Central en un futuro cercano los católicos ya no serán la mayoría de la población. Es usual que el movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano sea etiquetado con una serie de estereotipos estigmatizadores. Así, los pentecostales en América Latina son caracterizados, por ejemplo, como ayudantes en el cumplimiento de los derechos religiosos en los Estados Unidos, como tentación para los más pobres entre los pobres, como desinteresados en los cambios sociales o como ateológicos, por nombrar algunos. Muchas veces, debido a dichas percepciones, la socialmente crítica Teología de la Liberación, así como las comunidades de base política y socialmente inspiradas por ésta, son vistas como antípodas naturales en relación al movimiento pentecostal. Ambos movimientos suelen aparecer como irreconciliables. Sin embargo, esta imagen de la supuesta confrontación entre comunidades de base y el movimiento pentecostal no corresponde al conocimiento científico. Nuevas investigaciones provenientes de las Ciencias Políticas y las Ciencias Sociales entregan una visión muy diferente del movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano, como se muestra en el anexo. La discusión ecuménica en relación al movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano sufre de un problema aún más grave: no se toma en cuenta cómo el movimiento pentecostal se interpreta a sí mismo. El desconocimiento de esto conduce automáticamente hacia argumentos erróneos. Este libro tiene la explícita intención de acabar con estos malentendidos. Las reflexiones teológicas de importantes teólogos pentecostales son presentadas en versión alemana. En vista de la supuesta confrontación entre el movimiento pentecostal y las comunidades de base, se eligieron sobre todo aquellos artículos que atestiguan una intensa recepción teológica pentecostal de planteamientos teológico-liberadores. No tomar esto en cuenta significa que es imposible un juicio responsable del movimiento pentecostal latinoamericano. Esperamos haber logrado una introducción satisfactoria acerca del estado actual de la teología pentecostal. Si se desea ampliar la lectura las lectoras y los lectores interesados son remitidos a datos bibliográficos que posibiliten esto. La meta de esta publicación es estimular una discusión acerca del movimiento pentecostal llevada a cabo por el espíritu ecuménico.
