I think Jon Sobrino is one of the few modern writers who truly understand the gospel. This is probably his best book. It lays out a challenge for us first world rich Christians, but probably one we cannot meet. It gives us glimpse of where we need to go, and encouragement to take a few steps along that path.

Jon Sobrino writes what the first world is unwilling to
read. He gives the USA a gantle painting of our society.
If our consciousness if up to date it will be a hard reading
for us of the USA. He paints a beautiful picture of the poor
in Central,South America, and Africa. A poor that we do not experience here in teh USA. Even the Churches of the FIrst WOrld have a very
difficult time understand the place of the poor in refernce to
Jesus. A must read.
Fr. William Forst AUthhor of "If Aristotle Ran the Catholic Church'.

This review is from: NO SALVATION OUTSIDE THE POOR: Prophetic-Utopian Essays (Paperback)

The author shares a lifetime of experience in Latin America, and brings together solid theology plus the lived experience of Father Ellacuria and Archbishop Romero in a memorable series of essays. One of the values is that although the author thoroughly deals with values, the product of his writing is not seen as a political diatribe.
