The Theology of Liberation is a school of Christian theology in which the salvation or liberation wrought by Christ is examined not only in terms of liberation from individual sin, but also in terms of liberation in other spheres: the aspirations of oppressed peoples & social classes; an understanding of history in which the human being is seen as assuming conscious responsibility for human destiny; & Christ the Saviour liberating the human race from sin, which is the root of all disruption of friendship & of all injustice & oppression. It emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed, particularly through political activism. Its theologians consider sin the root source of poverty, the sin in question being exploitative capitalism and class war by the rich against the poor. It has a range of meanings: broadly, especially in the media, it may refer to any politically-activist Christian thought, but the technical sense is narrower. Liberation theologians use political theory, primarily Marxism, to help understand how to combat poverty.
