Description:	Colón-Emeric's study is an exercise in what Latino/a theologians call ressourcement from the margins, or a return to theological foundations. One of the first Latin American Church Fathers, Romero's theological vision is a sign of the emergence of Christianity in the Global South from "reflection" Church to "source" Church. The study brings out the richness of Romero's thinking on themes such as Christ, salvation, the church, and Christian hope. One of the strengths of the book is the author's careful consideration of Romero's homilies as a main source of new theological insights. 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 act more decisively in solidarity with the poor. "Richly connecting this contemporary martyr and saint to the ancient richness of Christian theology, Colón-Emeric's book demonstrates how Romero's courageous defense of human rights sprang from a powerful theology of transfiguration." - Michael Lee, Fordham University
