The article deals with the teaching about the poor in the Book of Amos. The first part is a detailed analysis of Am. 2, 6b-7a; 4, 1b; 5, 11a. 12b; 8, 4. 6, concentrating on the Hagiographer’s terminology. The second part comprises more general conclusions. Our study leads to the conclusion that terms saddîq, ʽebjôn/ ʽebjônîm, dal/dallîm, ʽănawîm, ʽanwê- ʼareṣ, which denote the poor, are synonyms. Hence, the title saddîq is to be referred to poor, the ignored, the oppressed rather than solely to the rich and prominent as has traditionally been done. Furthermore, Amos stresses the personal dignity of those generally held in contempt and belonging to the lowest social strata. In expressing these truths, the Book of Amos is independent of the teachings of the wisdom writers.

In recent decades, from a theological point of view, the Church in Latin America has gone from being a "receiving" church to being a "protagonist" church. This happened thanks to the dynamic development of a new way of practicing theology. Latin American post-Conciliar theology presents a new existential, kerygmatic and methodological approach based on a wise balance (hermeneutic circle) between orthopraxis and orthodoxy. The article presents and attempts to critically analyze the most important events of the period from the first Latin American Episcopal Conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1955 to the second in Medellin in 1968, which laid the foundations for the birth of post-Conciliar Latin America theology: the rise of CELAM, the choice of John XXIII, the Cuban Revolution and the Vatican Council II and especially the Constitution Gaudium et Spes, which introduces a new theological paradigm that recognizes the historical realities of pluralism of nations and cultures, as well as social, political and economic structures. Undoubtedly, the election of Cardinal Bergoglio as Pope is a "sign of the times" that makes the richness and freshness of Latin American theological reflection powerfully join the world theological discourse.
