The essays in Sorbino’s latest collection bear on one of the most pressing signs of the times: the existence of a “crucified people,” the poor, oppressed and marginalized of our world. Their suffering presents Christian faith with an urgent demand – that we “take them down from the cross.”
Writing from the Salvadoran context, Sobrino presents a “theology of mercy,” reflecting on the principles of mercy and solidarity as the mode of Christian witness and discipleship in a world of conflict and daily crucifixion.
