Review Quotes:
"Colón-Emeric is at the leading edge of both the best scholarship and the best pedagogy for grasping the entirety of Romero's witness. Colón-Emeric situates this liturgically driven vision of theology within the specificity of the celebration and the martyrdom in San Salvador. This particularizing and localizing of the theme makes this book even more universal and engaging. Everyone in the English-speaking world who is writing and thinking about the witness of Romero will need to read this book and will benefit greatly from that reading." --Peter Casarella, University of Notre Dame
