Theology of Liberation

Theology of Liberation is a movement within Christianity that emphasizes social justice, especially for oppressed and marginalized groups. It seeks to understand and practice faith by addressing issues like poverty, inequality, and injustice, viewing these as integral to spiritual life. Rooted in Latin America during the 1960s and ’70s, it encourages believers to work actively for societal change, seeing liberation from social and economic oppression as part of Christian mission. Essentially, it combines faith with activism, urging followers to confront injustice and promote human dignity as expressions of their spiritual beliefs.
