Faith and Praxis in “A Theology of Liberation” by Gutiérrez

Discuss Gutiérrez’s emphasis on praxis in “A Theology of Liberation.”

In Chapter One, “A Theology of Liberation,” Gutiérrez makes the following statement: “According to the Bible, faith is the total human response to God, who saves through love. In this light, the understanding of the faith appears as the understanding not of the simple affirmation, almost memorization, of truths, but of a commitment, an overall attitude, a particular posture toward life.” Discuss how this statement is meaningful and significant in Gutiérrez’s view, especially considering Gutiérrez’s emphasis on praxis.
