About the Course
In this course, Professor Tim Gorringe (University of Exeter) explores Marx and liberation theology. In the first module, we explore the roots and varieties of Marxisms and liberation theologies. In the second module, we examine the significance of developments of Marxist thought in Europe for Latin American Liberation theology. In the third lecture, we look at the influence of Marx on liberation theology, before comparing and contrasting Marxist ideas with liberation theology in the fourth module. In the fifth module, we examine the ways in which liberation theology owes nothing to Marx. In the sixth and final lecture, we investigate the relevance of liberation theology and Marx today and consider the future for liberation theology and Marxism.
