Underdevelopment and Liberation Theology

More about the book

Emerging from the prophetic tradition of early evangelizers, Liberation Theology critically examines the Church's role in Latin America, particularly regarding the treatment of indigenous, black, mestizo, and impoverished populations. It arose alongside Third World liberation movements and reflects the struggles of Christians involved in revolutionary efforts. This theological perspective developed as Latin American governments pursued modernization, often imitating the models of developed nations, while grappling with the socio-economic realities of the continent.
