Instituto de Teología de la Liberación

The Instituto de Teología de la Liberación was an educational institution dedicated to studying and promoting Liberation Theology, a movement that interprets Christian teachings through the lens of social justice and the needs of the poor. Founded primarily in Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s, it aimed to equip priests, scholars, and activists with the tools to address issues like inequality, oppression, and human rights. By blending theology with social theories, the institute sought to empower marginalized communities and foster faith-based solutions to social injustices.
