Abstract
ABSTRACT Theologies of liberation are rooted in the expressions of the poor and those at the margins who seek to reflect and act on their oppression from a foundation of faith. Growing out of the experiences of the excluded, liberation theology seeks to shape the world by applying principles of inclusion, justice, human rights, dignity, and solidarity to their emancipation. Liberation theologies have implications for the practice of social work, not only with faith-based organizations, but as a foundation for the formulation to policy and practice from the perspectives of those who live and find meaning at the margins.
