Liberation Theology

Liberation Theology
`Liberation theology is a branch of Roman Catholic theology that seeks to free humanityfrom oppressive economic, political, and social circumstances. It broadly interprets Christianteachings regarding suffering in this way. The poor’s perspectives (particularly suffering) anddifficulties in achieving their strategic objectives and outcomes are used to explain Christianreligion (Boff et al. 45). Although sometimes derided as Christianize Marxism, their critique ofsociety, church organizations, and Christianity is done through the perspective of the dispossessed,and they have many similarities with Marxist and Socialist ideology (Brown 76). It emerged fromthe belief that, in light of changing signs of the times, the current theological heritage was nolonger competent in articulating the wholly new theological and moral direction required fromScripture, Tradition, and the Church. Poverty and injustice pose a moral issue that requires aphilosophical and cognitive explanation for why things are the way they are and a remedy as theCold War frustrations deprived humanity of individuals and stimulated the development of Libertytheology.In the 1950s and 1960s, the Catholic Church of Latin America began to promote liberationtheology.

The concentration on liberation theology concerns is adefining feature of the Union of Third World Theologians. Liberation theology crosses denominational lines: it often attempts to construct a newuniversality from its preliminary step, for which the classical Church boundaries areconsidered meaningless.Liberation theology advocates a dramatic shift in Christian doctrinal interpretation; itdescribes Christianity as a liberation practice and views itself as the direction to that praxis.Christians’ obligation for the impoverished and oppressed is emphasized in liberation theology
