Descripción
Sumario:This article interprets the theological conception of the preferential option for the poor formulated by Gustavo Gutiérrez, From a Lasallian perspective. To this end, tries to demonstrate some relationships between Liberation Theology (TdL) and Lasallian pedagogy, having as criterion the emancipation of the poor in Latin America. Initially, the article analyzes the emergence of liberation theology in Latin American social context of combating poverty in the last four decades of the twentieth century. Then, it analyzes the new context of struggle against poverty in the first two decades of the twenty-first century in Brazil; it concludes that, the option for the poor is still a relevant and necessary option supported both by liberation theology as the Lasallian Pedagogy.
