The Elephant·September 10, 2026 at 8:00 AM

The Elephant examines the legacy of liberation theology, arguing that Christian theology was appropriated to justify apartheid's racist ideology in South Africa. According to the article, Black theologians resisted this appropriation by developing a theology of the oppressed, which framed faith as a tool for liberation rather than subjugation. The piece questions whether liberation theology remains an unfinished project, reflecting on its historical role in confronting injustice and its continuing relevance to struggles against oppression today.
