Review Quotes:
"In one of the first books to investigate Romero's theology, Edgardo Colón-Emeric examines Romero's life and theological vision, which finds its focus in the mystery of the transfiguration... The hope for this study is that scholars in the fields of theology, religious studies, and Latin American studies will be captivated by the doctrine of this humble pastor and inspired to think more clearly and more decisively in solidarity with the poor." --Duke Divinity
