Women's Position In Christian Theologies

During the 20th century, many different Christian theologies developed. The theologies developed addressed the subjects of women's position in Christianity, biblical concepts, and faith in God. The liberation theology started in Latin America because of the growing poverty in the countries. Liberation theology focuses on political, social, and economic inequality in the world. Liberationist want social justice for all people by fixing the inequality between the rich and the poor. Liberation theology is the most convincing theology because it addresses a worldwide subject that should be resolved in the modern age. Liberationist believe it is the job of the Church and Christians to reform the political, social, and economic systems to
benefit everyone not just a group of people. Without the improvement of these systems, poverty is going to be a growing issue in the world. Poverty is a common problem in society that is supposedly taken account of by the United Nations and national governments. The problem is not being fixed because they do not address the political, social, and economic systems that cause poverty and inequality. The liberationist confront poverty by making it the message and the responsibility of Christians to help the impoverished. The Catholic Church adopted the liberation theology of helping the poor. In Latin America, the bishops supported and helped the poor. Archbishop Oscar Romero advocated and helped the poor in Latin America by speaking to the governments of helping the poor. Because of this, he was assassinated by a right-wing group. His assassination meant that he was upsetting the rich and privileged people of Latin America. If the political, social, and economic systems are not reformed then poverty and inequality will be still be growing issues in the world.
