God's preferential option for the poor and oppressed
How does the Gospel liberate the marginalized?
In the Liberation theological tradition, Matthew 28:18-20 is understood as a call to actively engage in the struggle for justice and liberation for the marginalized. The Great Commission is seen not merely as a directive for evangelism but as a mandate to make disciples of all nations by dismantling oppressive systems and advocating for the poor and oppressed, reflecting Jesus’ ministry of inclusion and justice.
