In this special episode, we honor the life and legacy of Gustavo Gutiérrez, a towering figure in the realm of liberation theology. Gabby and George sit down with esteemed scholars Jung Mo Sung and Joerg Rieger, both of whom have been  influenced by Gustavo's teachings and friendship.

Through reflections and shared memories, our guests illuminate the transformative power of Gutiérrez’s work, exploring how his commitment to justice and solidarity continues to inspire and challenge us today. They discuss the urgent need to confront oppressive systems, the significance of solidarity with the marginalized, and the role of faith as a catalyst for radical change.

As we reflect on Gustavo's legacy, we invite you to join us in this journey of remembrance and action. Together, we can carry forward his vision for a world rooted in love, justice, and liberation. Tune in for an episode that not only pays tribute to a remarkable life but also calls us to engage in the ongoing struggle for justice and equity.

Joerg Rieger is a German and American professor of Christian theology whose work emphasizes economic justice and political movements. Rieger is also an ordained minister of the United Methodist Church.

Jung Mo Sung is a Roman Catholic lay theologian, writer and lecturer trained in theology, ethics, and education. He was born in South Korea, and raised in Brazil where he lives today.
