Liberation Theology: Peruvian Theologian Gustavo Gutierrez and the Social Factor

Published: March 10, 2022, 5 a.m.

This was a class lecture.  It discusses Father Gustavo Gutierrez and the concept of liberation theology.  Most theology comes down from above, from theologians, from universities, from popes.  Liberation Theology grows from the bottom up.    The structure of society is essential to understanding this way of thinking.  Injustice, inequality, historic structures dating back to colonial times hundreds of years ago. 

There will be several lectures in this series.  For those wanting to understand a different way of thinking about theology, this series is not only fascinating but extremely informative (if I do say so myself).
