Abstract: When dealing with the social problems in Latin America, liberation theology creatively employs some arguments of Marxism and is therefore regarded as of special "relation" with Marxism. In fact, under its superficial closeness to Marxism, what drives liberation theology most is its inherent theodicy logic.

Key words: Liberation theology, theodicy, practice
