Resistance Theology
Resistance Theology is a framework within religious thought that emphasizes the importance of standing against oppression and injustice. It often draws from the teachings of Jesus Christ and other religious figures who advocated for the marginalized. This theology encourages believers to actively resist systems of power that perpetuate inequality and suffering.
This approach is particularly relevant in contexts of social and political struggle, where faith communities engage in activism. Liberation Theology, a related movement, emerged in Latin America and focuses on the liberation of the poor and oppressed. Resistance Theology seeks to inspire action rooted in spiritual beliefs and moral responsibility.
