He was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis on October 14, 2018. Edgardo Col-Emeric explores the life and thought of Romero and his theological vision, which finds its focus in the mystery of the transfiguration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRomero is now understood to be one of the founders of liberation theology, which interprets scripture through the plight of the poor. His theological vision is most succinctly expressed by his saying, \"Gloria Dei, vivens pauper\" \"The glory of God is the poor who lives.\" God's glory was first revealed through Christ to a landless tenant farmer, a market woman, and an unemployed laborer, and they received the power to shine from the church to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCol-Emeric's study is an exercise in what Latino\/a theologians call ressourcement from the margins, or a return to theological foundations. One of the first Latin American Church Fathers, Romero's theological vision is a sign of the emergence of Christianity in the Global South from \"reflection\" Church to \"source\" Church. The hope for this study is that scholars in the fields of theology, religious studies, and Latin American studies will be captivated by the doctrine of this humble pastor and inspired to think more clearly and act more decisively in solidarity with the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgardo Col-Emeric\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268104735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268104733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Edgardo Col-Emeric","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995507261695,"sku":"9780268104733","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6835050a-b98e-4c74-97b8-9ec9d3214e83.jpg?v=1683336210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scar-romeros-theological-vision-edgardo-col-n-emeric-9780268104733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
