Essential Writings
Outline : Drawing from all of his many published books, as well as little-known essays and several pieces translated specifically for his volume, Gustavo Gutierrez: Essential Writings provides an overview and an entry into the mind of a great modern Christian thinker. Gutierrez has permanently altered the modern theological landscape, challenging all theologians and the world church to hear the gospel message from the "underside of history," from the perspective of the poor and the oppressed. Editor James B. Nickoloff situates Gutierrez within the history of Christian thought and the social history of Latin America. Nickoloff shows, ultimately, that Gutierrez's challenge extends to all Christians: "With the believing poor, and in their name, [Gutierrez] has challenged Christians paralyzed by fear of the cross ... to stand with 'those robbed of life and well-being.' And thus he invites the fearful among us to venture forth ... and find courage and new life for ourselves by giving life to the 'nobodies' of history."
