Essays from the Margins

Theology

“A remarkable collection by one of the foremost scholars of Latin America and the Caribbean, Essays from the Margins explores the links between compassion and truthfulness in situations of conflict across geographical regions and social locations. Rivera-Pagan combines historical and analytic depth, poetic sensibility, and intellectual clarity to illuminate the distinctiveness and broad theological significance of each of the examples that he presents. More than explicating, the book enacts a way of doing theology through attentive engagements with sites of human struggles for justice. Timely and provocative, full of beauty and passion--this is a theology everyone should read.”
