Article: Religion, Politics and Liberation: A Dialogue between Gustavo Gutiérrez, the 14th Dalai Lama and Gianni Vattimo

A liberation theologian, a Buddhist, and a nihilist: Mario I. Aguilar (University of St Andrews), "Religion, Politics and Liberation: A Dialogue between Gustavo Gutiérrez, the 14th Dalai Lama and Gianni Vattimo" ("Political Theology", 12 [1], 2011: pp. 144-66).

Quote: "Gustavo Gutiérrez, the 14th Dalai Lama and the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo ... have made an enormous contribution to ... the practice of religion and politics centred on the poor ... This paper argues that the practice of a religion of love and a compassionate politics stressing commonalities rather than differences have a lot to offer to a contemporary practice and critical reflection on political theology."
