Description
Summary:This article explores the formation of Juan Luis Segundo’s ecclesiology. In it, the author argues that Segundo’s ecclesiology has an existential dimension that is reflected in his liberation theology. He bases this assertion on a cross-section of Segundo’s books. Generally, they are readily available in English and were widely read, especially closer to their dates of publication. One source, Existencialismo, is not available in English and has been largely overlooked; it adds to both understanding Segundo’s ecclesiology and his existentialism. This paper contributes a new understanding of Segundo’s ecclesiology, and, in turn, it offers new potential for an existential ecclesiology.
