Movement ~ a progressive development of ideas toward a particular conclusion; a series of actions or activities intended or tending toward a particular end.

The answer by Mr Houdmann calls liberation theology a movement; and that's exactly what it is. He then educates us on what is believed and taught by them who promote its ideas. I view the teaching that is attributed to the "movement" to be a good teaching to consider. It essentially seeks to depict the Church as a haven or a refuge for the poor. That it is, but that's nowhere close to the enormity of what the Scriptures teach about Jesus and His Church.

Then there's black liberation theology, and feminist liberation theology. Associating it with these two, and tossing in [Reverend] Jeremiah Wright's name as a bonus, should get the message across. The political-plug hint isn't necessary for them who have a working knowledge of what the gospel is all about: REDEMPTION from death! For all, not just the downtrodden!

For me, this statement says it all. He writes: "liberation theology goes wrong in a couple of places. For one, it places social action on equal footing with the gospel message." (Not good!)

There isn't any movement on earth on equal footing with the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the POWER of God to salvation (Rom 1:16).

We teach that Jesus fed, healed, and quieted storms in His followers' lives. But the vertex of His ministry is that He DIED FOR ALL OF US! Jn 3:16. PRAISE GOD! (my emphasis)
