The Scandal of Redemption: When God Liberates the Poor, Saves

The Scandal of Redemption: When God Liberates the Poor, Saves Sinners, and Heals Nations (Plough Spiritual Guides: Backpack Classics)

To find out why Pope Francis is making Oscar Romero a saint, read the words that cost him his life.

â€A church that does not provoke crisis, a gospel that does not disturb, a word of God that does not touch the concrete sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed â€“ what kind of gospel is that?â€

Three short years transformed El Salvadorâ€™s Archbishop Oscar Romero from a defender of the status quo into one of the most outspoken voices of the oppressed. An assassinâ€™s bullet ended his life, but his message lives on. In March 2018 Pope Francis announced that the Catholic Church would canonize Oscar Romero, acknowledging that he is indeed a saint who was martyred for proclaiming the gospel, and that the political and social implications of that message, which so scandalized the powerful, flowed directly from Romeroâ€™s faithfulness to the teachings of Jesus.

These selections from Romeroâ€™s diaries and radio broadcasts invite each of us to align our own lives with the way of Jesus that lifts up the poor, welcomes the broken, wins over enemies, and transforms the history of entire nations.
