Liberation Theology is a Christian movement that emphasizes the application of religious faith to advocate for social justice, particularly for marginalized and oppressed communities. Originating in Latin America during the 20th century, it intertwines faith with political activism, urging believers to confront social and economic inequalities as a moral imperative. Key figures like Gustavo Gutiérrez, considered the father of Liberation Theology, framed it as a "preferential option for the poor," focusing on addressing systemic injustices through the lens of Christian compassion.
