Gustavo Gutiérrez, a Peruvian Catholic theologian and priest, was one of the leading teachers of the Church in the second half of the 20th century. It is impossible to imagine the 1960s and 1970s without his liberation theology. Latin American theologians approached the Bible contextually. Despite criticism of its close interaction with Marxist sociology, millions of people in Third World countries adapted the ideas of Gutiérrez and other liberation theologians to their own perception of social reality and missionary activity. Today, Gutierrez’s theological legacy can be found in revolutionary religious movements and among active and socially conscious Christians who fight for human rights and do not compromise politically with the rulers of this world.
