Liberation Theology. Meaning, Ideas and History
About this book
Essay in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: This paper explains liberation theology, and its meaning in different school of thought, such as Latin-American Liberation Theology, African American Black Liberation Theology and Feminist (Womanist) Theology.Liberation theology is a set of ideas about how Jesus and his followers viewed social issues, such as helping the poor, inequality, and charity work. There are non-Christian ideologies that promote ideas similar to liberation theology, but the term is generally used to represent Christian ideas and a variety of different definitions of liberation theology abound. Pope Francis since a little more than a year into his papacy, seems to have been speaking loudest about economic injustice, alternatively denouncing "trickle-down" economics and calling over and over again for a 'poor church for the poor.' The Holy Father's supporters and opponents alike often blame this particular attitude on one source: liberation theology".
