Abstract
This article examines the writings of Jesuit liberation theologian Dean Brackley and their scriptural and theological foundations for Christian social engagement. Beginning with an exposition of the theology of the Reign of God, it situates Brackley’s thought in dialogue with the perspectives of Karl Rahner and Gustavo Gutiérrez. The study develops a framework for Christian social involvement that complements the pastoral cycle and compares it with models proposed by Jacques Maritain and Juan Luis Segundo. The resulting framework aims to promote a balanced, contextually grounded, interdisciplinary, and spiritually rooted approach to Christian social action.
