Gustavo Gutierrez: Essential Writings

This Inspiring We Drink from our The Spiritual Journey of a people by Gustavo Gutierrez is a significant even in the development of liberation theology. Gustavo's aim is to practice Christian theology, to spread the Christian message, and to do so with the context of repression and oppression rather than in a vacuum.

The Power of the Poor in History: Selected Writings (English and Spanish Edition)

This is the credo and seminal text of the movement which was later characterized as liberation theology. The book burst upon the scene in the early seventies, and was swiftly acknowledged as a pioneering and prophetic approach to theology which famously made an option for the poor, placing the exploited, the alienated, and the economically wretched at the centre of a programme where "the oppressed and maimed and blind and lame" were prioritized at the expense of those who either maintained the status quo or who abused the structures of power for their own ends. This powerful, compassionate and radical book attracted criticism for daring to mix politics and religion in so explicit a manner, but was also welcomed by those who had the capacity to see that its agenda was nothing more nor less than to give "good news to the poor", and redeem God's people from bondage.

A Theology of Liberation: History, Politics, and Salvation

History

A significant event in the development of liberation theology is the publication of "We Drink from Our Own Wells: The Spiritual Journey of a People" by Gustavo Gutierrez. Gustavo's book fulfills the promise that was implicit in his "A Theology of Liberation" which appeared in Spanish in 1971 and soon became a charter for many Latin American theologians and pastoral workers.
