description: This volume concentrates on the key texts and ideas in Gustavo Gutirrez's thought. It presents the essential Gutirrez for students and the general reader. In his first anthology of Gutirrez's massively influential work, James Nickoloff draws from Gutirrez's many published books and translates some pieces for the first time. Arranged both thematically and chronologically, the Selected Texts highlight not only the revolutionary import of Gutirrez's theology but also his deep and searching spirituality, his bold view of the church, and his personal challenge to the reader to engage the world's injustices directly. Nickoloff's expert Introduction explains the development of Gutirrez's ideas and sheds new light on the Latin American, especially Peruvian, context of his thought.
