Abstract Liberation Theology ? LT was born in a context of oppression, with the goal of being a prophetic voice and producing transformative actions, as a response to the ethical indignation caused by the oppression of millions of Latin Americans. The LT, from the renovation present in the Specialized Catholic Action and its members (1950-1960), fed by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the brave change initiated by Medell?n (1968), faced the challenge of being a ?source? theology, recovering the memory of the fathers of the Church, reaping the fruits of the renewal brought on by the Nouvelle Th?ologie (1935-1960), and ceasing to be a theology of ?reflection? (VAZ). It gained the world, with new subjects and the challenges of diversity. And the spirit that has always been present in the LT was and always will be one of a theology that fights against all forms of oppression, of colonialism, including the one from theology itself, always watching its own liberation, as was warned by Juan Luis Segundo (1978). Having been thought of for a few decades already, the decolonial theory is currently more studied than ever. In this regard, the following questions arise: What does it mean? What their genealogies and ideas are about? What sort of criticism does it pose to theological reflection? Currently Postcolonial Theologies emerge. What criticism do they pose to Liberation Theology? From bibliographic research, this article aims to reflect on the decolonial thought, on the relationship between that thought and liberation theology, on the criticism of Postcolonial Theology to liberation theology, as well as the reactions, implications and theological perspectives of these concepts to the Latin American theology.
