The Latin American debate on development has been put on the agenda of theologians and church leaders since the 1960s, most critically by the representatives of liberation theology. Different epistemological and hermeneutic approaches have been used. By using a case from Guatemala this paper claims that different theological discourses are in play and influence the way political, social, economic and cultural development is understood and practiced. These discourses are often in conflict with each other. Bjune (2012) argues that the growth and strength of the Alliance of Evangelical Churches in Guatemala ( AEG ) have made “the evangelicals” a political actor in the country, contributing to maintaining the privileges of the rich and powerful. I argue that the Conference of Evangelical Churches in Guatemala ( CIEDEG ) and their use of theology can be seen as a counter discourse to that of AEG as well as to what can be seen as western development thinking. The different theological discourses are thus also linked to economy and political influence: While AEG seems to go hand in hand with strong economic forces, the international support for the ecumenically-oriented CIEDEG has declined. This article focuses on theological discourse as an important field in the debate on religion and development in Latin America.

变革神学:危地马拉变革的普世方法

自 1960 年代以来,拉丁美洲关于发展的辩论已被提上神学家和教会领袖的议程,其中最为批判的是解放神学的代表。已经使用了不同的认识论和解释学方法。通过使用危地马拉的一个案例,本文声称不同的神学话语正在发挥作用,并影响着人们理解和实践政治、社会、经济和文化发展的方式。这些话语常常相互冲突。Bjune (2012) 认为危地马拉福音派教会联盟 (AEG) 的成长和力量使“福音派”成为该国的政治参与者,有助于维护富人和强者的特权。我认为危地马拉福音派教会会议 (CIEDEG) 及其对神学的使用可以被视为对 AEG 的话语以及可以被视为西方发展思想的话语。因此,不同的神学话语也与经济和政治影响有关:虽然 AEG 似乎与强大的经济力量齐头并进,但对面向普世的 CIEDEG 的国际支持已经下降。本文将神学话语作为拉丁美洲宗教与发展辩论的一个重要领域。对面向普世的 CIEDEG 的国际支持已经下降。本文将神学话语作为拉丁美洲宗教与发展辩论的一个重要领域。对面向普世的 CIEDEG 的国际支持已经下降。本文将神学话语作为拉丁美洲宗教与发展辩论的一个重要领域。
