Archbishop Romero - Memories and Reflections

Author: Jon Sobrino

Revised Edition

Sobrino has drawn together principal essays, beginning with a moving personal memoir, which describes how Romero (by reputation a timid, conservative prelate) emerged as the outspoken champion of the poor and suffering people of El Salvador. He then places Romero in the context of the wider church: a believer, archbishop, Salvadoran, prophet, martyr, as inspiration for theology. He sums up his reflections with the conclusion: “Archbishop Romero was a gospel... a piece of good news from God to the poor of the world.”
