Witnessing: Prophecy, Politics and Wisdom

by Maria Clara Bingemer and Peter Casarella, editors

Beyond every other form of proclamation, living witness is the most powerful medium of the gospel message.  The meaning of witness has always carried special weight in the example of the martyrs, and this volume is inspired by the twenty-fifth anniversary of the martyrdom of the Jesuit community in El Salvador.

Among the essays are reflections on the witness of Ignacio Ellacuria, Archbishop Oscar Romero, and Jon Sobrino's moving tribute to his fellow Jesuits and all the anonymous "Jesuanic martyrs" who died as witnesses to the kingdom of God.
