Remembering Oscar Romero and the Martyrs of El Salvador

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book responds to Pope Francis’s challenge to construct an expanded definition for martyrdom today. Using the work of Jon Sobrino, Thiede examines four case studies—Rutilio Grande, Oscar Romero, the U.S. churchwomen, and the UCA Jesuits and their collaborators—to offer an expanded definition of martyrdom.
