Abstract
The author carries out a review, all along the Christian theology of the last fifty years, on the concept and model of integral human development. The Church coming out of the Council is especially conscious that its mission in the world is sacramental. And communication of the Good News is not possible outside the commitment to the betterment of the material and social conditions of the peoples. The Church is going to propose a “moral fact,” the underdevelopment is not the responsibility of the poor folks, nor a social or natural fatality, but a fact that appeals to the responsibility of all, especially of the citizens and of the politics of the developed countries. The development is not possible without a redistribution of the wealth, but development is not confined to the simple economic growth. For it to be authentic, it must be integral, that is to say, it must promote all men and the whole man.
