Liberation Theory

Liberation Theory is an approach within theology and social analysis that emphasizes the pursuit of justice and freedom for oppressed groups. It asserts that faith and religious beliefs should actively promote social change, addressing inequalities and advocating for the marginalized. Originating in Latin America in the 1950s and 1960s, this theory encourages believers to challenge unjust societal structures and work towards liberation from poverty, oppression, and marginalization, integrating spiritual purposes with practical actions for social justice.
