Abstract
The article deals with James Cone's understanding of his Black Theology of Liberation, with the aim of highlighting the hermeneutic definition of this theology, from convergent and divergent points in relation to contemporary theology. In the introduction, we present the emergence of Black Theology of Liberation in its historical context; then, we describe the subject of this theology in its context under existential and political aspects; in the third section, we deal with the role of black theologians, according to James Cone’s understanding; finally, we define the sources of Black Theology of Liberation, paying attention to their organic and community characteristics. In the conclusions, we highlight some implications of the hermeneutic understanding of theology in Black Theology of Liberation.
