Beginning at the end of the 18th century, theological liberalism has gained space in academic debates, exerting a strong influence on ecclesiastical practices. In addition, it has provided various developments and different strands in the field of theology, especially by promoting the insertion of other sources of study beyond the Sacred Scriptures. This study aims to analyze the academic production related to the theme of Liberal Theology from documents indexed on the Web of Science (WoS) database, notably in the period between 1945 and 2020. With descriptive-exploratory objectives, it was used bibliometric analysis as a tool for analyzing academic-scientific production. The analysis carried out on a set of 66 documents shows an increase in the number of publications with greater emphasis from the year 2000 onwards. There was a predominance of publications in the form of books followed by articles in specialized periodicals/magazines, in addition to the high prominence of the “Religion” category with 54 records of the total volume. The United States is responsible for more than half of the publications surveyed, with English being the language of 86.36% of the publications. Of the 24 registered organizations, 20 are American, a percentage of more than 83%. As for the institutional link, 80% of the institutions are American, leaving one located in the Netherlands (Netherlands) and one in England.
