The central idea is the theology of liberation which seeks to transform the world
The central idea is the theology of liberation which seeks to transform the world (Gutierrez.Para2). In order to do this a new mode of thinking about God and everything else that is connected to him is called for in all Christians. Social transformation by Christians is done through adding systematic reason to their faith in God. This helps them to take a look at the oppression that is in the world around them and listen to the cries of those that are oppressed. They should then take action and involve themselves in politics, advocacy and whatever else that will help them to change this situation in society. There is need for this theology in Christianity in order to heed God’s will of helping those who are poor and suffering. The author came up with this idea after living in a slum as a preacher and witnessing the situation of dire poverty and struggle that existed.
