Gustavo Gutierrez: Essential Writings
This volume concentrates on the key texts
and ideas in Gustavo Gutiérrez's thought.
It presents the essential Gutiérrez for
students and the general reader. In his
first anthology of Gutiérrez's massively
influential work, James Nickoloff draws from
Gutiérrez's many published books and
translates some pieces for the first time.
Arranged both thematically and
chronologically, the Selected Texts
highlight not only the revolutionary import
of Gutiérrez's theology but also his deep
and searching spirituality, his bold view of
the church, and his personal challenge to
the reader to engage the world's injustices
directly. Nickoloff's expert Introduction
explains the development of Gutiérrez's
ideas and sheds new light on the Latin
American, especially Peruvian, context of
his thought.
