ABSTRACT
This choice of a praxis-based methodology is not simply a whim, but is dependent on the motivation of communities of women, in the case of feminist theology, or communidades de base in the case of liberation theology. In the analysis of how research ought to proceed, liberation and political theologians adopted, with modification, Marxian methodology and epistemology, in particular the famous eleventh thesis which insists that ‘the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is, to change it’.81 Philosophy would then be the theoretical arm of revolutionary praxis. Liberation and feminist theologians envisage a similar role for theology.
