Abstract

Diego Irarraz & aacute;val says that theology is contextual. European theology too, even if it has been considered a theologia perennis. Despite globalisation, there are sociological and cultural traits that are more entrenched in these latitudes than in others, which requires and enables another approach from the sources of revelation. In these pages, we study some of the publications of Xabier Pika-za, Spanish theologian and exegete, focusing on his analysis of the European and Spanish contexts, as well as the possible practical repercussions of this discourse. The approach to his works shows that, over almost half a century of reflection, he has devised a project with which he calls for a way of being and living as humans and as a society that reverses the negative consequences of the neoliberal system that characterises our time, namely: the will to power, violence, wealth, and exclusion. In the light of the history and person of Jesus of Nazareth, the author proposes a messianic anthropology, which strengthens the will to love and moves towards peace, gentleness and universal dialogue
