Liberation Theology for Armchair Theologians Quotes

“To know God is to do justice. To stand by while oppression occurs is to profess nonbelief, regardless of any confession given privately or publicly.”
― Miguel A. de la Torre, Liberation Theology for Armchair Theologians

“Las Casas concluded that conversion could not be defined as accepting some theological proposition; rather, conversion had to be based on actions taken. To be converted to Christ meant being converted through the Christlike liberative actions in which one engaged. The actions of Las Casas, including his ownership of several indigenous people as slaves, gave witness that it was he who was rejecting the message of the gospel. In short, it was he who was in need of conversion.”
