(11) Liberation Theology
1) Liberation theology has been one of the most striking developments in Christian thought in recent decades, which can be thought of as the response of the developing world to the doctrinal obsessions of Western theology.
2) Liberation theology developed in South Africa in the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the terrible conditions endured by the poor of that continent. New theologians (Juan Luis Segundo, Peruvian Gustavo Gutierrez) began to emphasize practice over doctrine.
3) They argued that Christian thought can be developed only on the basis of experience, the experience of liberation of the poor. They think that the Bible reveals a God of action who identifies with the lot of the poor and the suffering and works to set them free.
4) The South american liberation theologians were almost all Roman Catholic, and in the 1980s they came under attack from the Vatican for their affinities with Marxism. But liberation theology has no truck with the materialism and atheism of communism. Nevertheless, the liberation theology has been understood as relation to the communism because it become intimate with the Marxism.
5) The message of liberation theology struck a chord throughout the world. In particular, in North America J. Deotis Robert and James Cone pioneered black theology, which speaks of the "blackness" of Christ and even of God. Liberation theology also was presented as "feminist theology" in America, and as Minjung theology in South Korea.
6) Contextual theology, the South African version of liberation theology, proved especially powerful in the struggle against apartheid (the racial discrimination against the black), a struggle that in many way mirrors the stand of the German Confession Church against Nazism in the 1930s.
