In Latin America - a predominantly Roman Catholic land - there are 80,000 small groups of poor Christians including peasants and slumdwellers. who meet to study the Bible and discover how to be Christians in their continent today. Their knowledge of God - their theology - is known as Liberation Theology; an approach that has attracted both criticism and approval. But what is Liberation Theology and who is Jesus the Liberator?
Using the comments of Latin-American liberation theologians Gerald Priest-land explores this method of religion; a way that talks of God having ' a preferential option for the poor'.
