Resumo: This research analyzes the ecological theology of liberation of Leonardo Boff (1938-), especially with regard to the re-signification given to the ideas of Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955). Throughout his vast work, Boff makes explicit references to Teilhard or devotes a book only to approach the thought of the French Jesuit and to present it to the Brazilian public, as is the case of the work "The Gospel of the Cosmic Christ", 1971. However, since the 1990s the theme of ecology is centered in Boffian theology and his theology divides opinions: on the one hand, they accuse it of becoming more mystical and approaching esotericism; on the other hand, they defend it from presenting, even in the germ, the ideas and criticisms of the present period even before 1990. However, the theological accent changes but Boff's references to Teilhard de Chardin continue. Thus, this work investigates how Boff dialogues with Teilhardian ideas in his ecotheology. For this, three approaches are followed. In the first chapter, Teilhard's "synthesis" between [natural] science and religion is introduced, albeit at an introductory level, that is, assuming that Father Teilhard is, above all, a mystic. Thus his thinking can be formulated on the basis of the natural sciences, but results in philosophy and theology. Then, in the second chapter, Leonardo Boff's theology in its amplitude and lack of systematization is approached, in a sort of overfly. Finally, in the third chapter, it is verified how Boff reinterprets the Teilhardian ideas in his ecotheology. It begins with the notion of "creative reception", elaborated by Boff himself, to designate his hermeneutic theology. Nonetheless, it’s necessary to situate hermeneutics as an academic discipline.
