Abstract
This paper examines the convergence between Boff’s theology and the thought of Bartolome de las Casas. The aim is to arrive at a way of understanding Trinitarian Theology which is both rooted in and relevant to people’s experiences. The paper highlights the vestiges of this relatively recent theology in the life and work of the great Dominican missionary, Bartolome de las Casas. It presents the striking similarity between the suffering and oppression experienced by the peoples of Latin America and the native Indians to the heart-wrenching contexts of our people today, which was further exacerbated by the pandemic. As such, the critique offered a path to find resonance in our situation as well.
