Jon Sobrino, a Jesuit theologian from San Salvador, worked closely with Archbishop Romero and has spent much of the past thirty-five years since his assassination reflecting at the which means of his strange life and witness. In a moving personal memoir, Sobrino describes how Romero (by reputation a timid, conservative prelate) emerged as the outspoken champion of the poor and suffering other people of El Salvador. He then places Romero within the context of the broader church: as believer, as archbishop, as Salvadoran, as prophet, as martyr, as inspiration for theology. Exploring every of these identities in turn, Sobrino sums up his reflections with the belief: “Archbishop Romero used to be a gospel . . . a piece of good news from God to the poor of the arena.”
