Liberation Theology

Ask Me Anything

Week 1: Liberation Theology

Question Asked: Can we go over liberation theology? I hear the term used but don’t really know what it means 

In the Spring of 2021, the Neighborhood College Ministry did a nine week series on Liberation Theology, that covered various themes, ideas and theologians. If you are interested in a more in-depth view on Liberation theology, we encourage you to check out the crew guides from that series below! Each week has different resources, as well as some discussion questions that you can use to journal and process as you read.  

If you are looking to dive deeper, below you will find a list of liberation theologians, who have done extensive writing and speaking on various branches of liberation theology. If you see a book that interests you, contact Rebes Bennett, and she would be happy to purchase a copy for you.
