Side Note: Liberation Theology Liberation Theology is a type of theology that mainly started in Latin America during the 1950’s and 1960’s. By 1971, the term “Liberation Theology” was used for the movement. This theology had its start in the Catholic church. It is a theology that focuses on the poor and oppressed and the need for social justice in the world. Poverty and oppression exist because of unjust social structures. Often, it is has been called “Christian Marxism” because many of the solutions, terminology, and issues discussed are similar to Marxism.
