{"product_id":"archbishop-romero-robert-pelton-9781589661264","title":"Archbishop Romero: Martyr and Prophet for the New Millennium","description":"In the spring of 2005, scholars from throughout the Americas gathered at the University of Notre Dame to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, and to reflect on the meaning of his life for the Catholic Church. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the collected essays in \u003ci\u003eOscar Romero\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrate, the Archbishop's formal title may have given him ecclesiastical authority, but his actions made him a real leader for the people of El Salvador. Romero exemplified the characteristics of an Old Testament prophet, speaking out against the injustice inflicted on the poor by the Salvadoran authorities. In the end, he became a martyr, murdered by those he dared to oppose. But his life, chronicled here, continues to bear witness to powerful truths. Anyone interested in a deeper understanding of this \"voice for the voiceless\" and his place within the Catholic Church will benefit from this book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Pelton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589661265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589661264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Scranton Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 89\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.08w x 0.24d","brand":"Robert Pelton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096994390271,"sku":"9781589661264","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archbishop-romero-robert-pelton-9781589661264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
