Abstract

This research aims to offer a methodological reading of the work Four poets from the other side. Prolegomena for a Chrstology of Olegario González de Cardedal to demonstrate the necessary importance of establishing meeting points between literature, as a cultural record, and theology. Starting from the invitation that the Church has made since the Second Vatican Council, to pay attention to culture and its cultural references - in which poets are found – this study is proposed in three steps. In the first place, theology as a science is emphasized and, therefore, the need for a method. Secondly, the importance of thinking of a method of dialogue between theology and literature is identified, gathering Ricoeur ́s contributions. And, thirdly, a methodological reading of the work Four Poets is proposed, which has been developed to establish a fruitful dialogue between theology and literature
