Liberation Theology

Liberation Theology is a movement within Christianity that emphasizes social justice and the liberation of oppressed people. Emerging in the 20th century, particularly in Latin America, it interprets Christian teachings through the lens of poverty and injustice, advocating for the rights of the marginalized. Proponents believe that faith should promote activism against systemic inequality and oppression, drawing on scripture to inspire change. The goal is to address both spiritual and material needs, emphasizing that salvation is linked to social transformation and the fight against economic and political injustices.
