Summary/Abstract: The never changing proclamation of the Church is that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world, Messiah and Son of God. Does the liberation theology recognise the universal and exceptional nature of Jesus’ revelation? Does this grassroots movement, born and hugely popular in Latin America after Vatican II, show His person in an authentic light? Can the Gospel message of love be reconciled with the notion of Jesus as a “liberator”? Can Christology be wed to the political activism with leftist tendencies and elements of Marxism? How are those issues treated in West Europe and Latin America? What is the official stance of the Magisterium of the Church on them? The author of this article examines the methodology employed in the christology in the liberation theology, with Jesus of history as its starting point, and the positive and negative interpretations of His person.
