Gustavo Gutiérrez
June 8, 1928 – October 22, 2024
Gustavo Gutiérrez, the founder of Liberation Theology, explores Christian poverty as an act of loving solidarity and a protest against hardship. His work delves into three dimensions of liberation: political and social liberation from injustice, the emancipation of the oppressed for dignified self-development, and personal liberation from sin to restore a relationship with God. Gutiérrez's profound influence on theology has sparked significant discourse within the Church.
