Many years after his death in 1980, the world is still absorbing the witness of Óscar Romero, the archbishop of San Salvador, martyred for his commitment to the poor and social justice. Michael E. Lee draws on Romero's Life, his homilies, and other writings, to consider how Romero's witness challenges us to reimagine a robust Christian spirituality that is at once a mystical encounter with God and a prophetic engagement in the struggle for justice. In light of Romero's beatification and pending canonization, he reflects on the implications of his recognition as a martyr and on the model of holiness he offers the wider church today. Book jacket.
