A Theology of Liberation (Spanish: Teología de la liberación: Perspectivas) is a 1971 book by the Peruvian Roman Catholic theologian Gustavo Gutiérrez. The book was foundational to the development of liberation theology, a term coined by Gutiérrez in his 1968 lecture "Hacia una teología de la liberación" ('Towards a theology of liberation').[1]

Originally published in Spanish, the work has been translated into nine languages as of 1989.[2] The first English translation was made by Caridad Inda and John Eagleson.[citation needed] The translation sold over 50,000 copies in the twenty months following its publication in 1973.[2]
