A Theology Of Liberation by Gustavo Gutierrez
History, Politics, and Salvation
This book is a foundational text in the field of liberation theology, which integrates Christian theology with socio-political concerns, particularly social justice, poverty, and human rights. The author, a Latin American theologian, critiques traditional theological approaches for their indifference to the oppressed and marginalized communities. He argues that theology should be a critical reflection on praxis, emphasizing the liberation of oppressed peoples as a form of living out the Christian faith. The work challenges Christians to see Christ as a liberator and to take active roles in the struggle against social, economic, and political injustices.
