Description

Ralph Klein begins his massive and authoritative commentary of 1 Chronicles (1) with an elucidation of the different meanings the name of the book has received. Among them is that the book deals with the events of the day but also about things omitted or left behind. A chronicler in this combined sense is the one who registers the events of the day but with particular care for those things that otherwise would be rendered to oblivion. A chronicler is one who engages facts and events and pledges back. This is what the word responsibility means (from the Latin re-spondeo--more on this follows). Professor Klein's service to the church, faithfully paying heed to the pleas and plaintive of the faithful, listening to the diverse voices of the people from all over the world, testifies to this very sense of responsibility. In classroom, in scholarship, in assisting the challenged in technological innovations or carrying the thorns of administration, and as editor of Currents in Theology and Mission, he was the "chronicler" in that sense attributed to the book he so deeply studied, the sense of being responsible. My contribution to this volume in homage to Ralph is, fittingly, about responsibility. I was asked to share some dimension of my scholarly contribution and to reflect on ways in which my scholarship serves the church and world. This calls for a relocation and reallocation, wherefore I will relocate myself to Latin America, Brazil in particular, and reallocate my thoughts to the subject of "confessional clashes" so as to be faithful to the task at hand. I situate my discussion of clashes of confession in Latin America in a global context, and in order to do that I need to start with the latter, the global context. Hence I need to provide what is entailed by globalization and its impact in Latin America, whose history since the conquest coincides exactly with the history of globalization.
