    Liberation Theology is the belief that Christianity not only involves belief in the scripture but also a commitment to change social and political positions that oppress the poor and disadvantaged in a society. This is mainly understood by those who have been able to experience a "privileged position"‚ which is described as being able to live amongst the poor and understand them.

    Between Liberation and Prosperity: the Political-Economic Ideologies in Latin American Theology Over the past 50 years‚ theology in Latin America has oscillated between liberation and prosperity theology. This movement reflects a polarization between the “option for the poor”‚ that began with liberation theology in the 1960’s; and the “option for the rich” during the early 1990’s‚ which supported a neoliberal model after the collapse of the communist alternative. Theology in Latin America has

    After analyzing Miguel De La Torre’s‚ Liberation Theology for Armchair Theologians‚ I was struck by the history of Liberation Theology and the attempts that the rich and powerful have made to prevent the exploitation of those who live in poverty. To begin‚ De La Torre explains that Liberation theology is different from liberative theology‚ in that liberation theology is attached to the Christian faith‚ while liberative theology can be of any faith. This is important because for some time the Christian

    In "Introducing Liberation Theology‚" by Leonardo Boff‚ and "God is Black‚" by James Cone‚ the authors assert that God is "One who liberates victims from their oppression" and Christianity can be a liberation tool through "Active commitment." Boff holds a loyalty to people as individuals. He points out that "Aid" is a strategy that treats the poor as "Collective objects of charity" and "Reformism" improves the situation of the poor." I draw from this that one treats the symptoms of poverty with
