The following text, as if it were a chronicle, enumerates the main activities of the group of LERTE, from PUC-SP in its work at the theological and literary interface. It gives preference in its study to the so-called anthropological method, based on the understanding of divine revelation taking place in human categories, and puts down well its roots in the proposal of a theological reflection which takes seriously the humanity affirmed in literature. From this comes the need for a serious and consistent literary analysis, allied to a hermeneutics that is also of quality and that makes possible the relationship between theology and literature. Hence the appeal to the thought of Paul Ricoeur, whose philosophy does not only affirm the necessity of understanding the text, but rather the possibility of understanding oneself in the world through the text. From a theological elaboration point of view, his reflection needs to be, equally, serious and consequent, and for this reason the references to the thoughts of Rahner, Gesché, to the spirit of Vatican Council II and to the Latin American theological tradition.
