Abstract
The concept of the “historical Jesus” is the starting point for Latin American Christological reflection; it can be considered the “gateway” to Latin American Christology as seen from the new theological-ecclesiastic perspective proposed by the Second Vatican Council. Following the path built by Liberation Theology, Christology appropriates the new vision of the world, of history, of humanity and salvation suggested by the Church in the conciliar documents. Jesus of Nazareth, the historical Jesus, clearly represents not only the influence but also the creative application in Latin American Christology of some of the various theological changes proposed by the Vatican Council.
