ABSTRACT
What does faith mean when it is interpreted in the light of the experience of suffering, injustice, and the fight for liberation and better living conditions? This is the basic question in the theological current that has emerged under the name of “liberation theology.” The question goes in both directions: What light does the experience of suffering shed on the sources and traditions of faith? And what insight and inspiration does faith provide for the everyday struggle in the encounter with poverty, discrimination, and oppression?
