Definición

  • LIBERATION THEOLOGY IS a controversial philosophy held by certain Christian activists, primarily within the Roman Catholic Church, that the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul call for Christians to be involved in a political and military struggle for Third World economic equality and human rights. Liberation theology takes the view that Jesus Christ's primary role was as a social liberator with a special compassion for the poor. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Liberation Theology]
