Böcker av John Thiede

Doctor of the Crucified People draws out the theological sources, contexts, and arguments underlying Oscar Romero's preaching, teaching, and writing. It offers a glimpse of the radical collaboration possible between theologians and ministers, and the radical solidarity possible between theologians, ministers, and a suffering world.

This book responds to Pope Francis's challenge to construct an expanded definition for martyrdom today. Using the work of Jon Sobrino, Thiede examines four case studies-Rutilio Grande, Oscar Romero, the U.S. churchwomen, and the UCA Jesuits and their collaborators-to offer an expanded definition of martyrdom.
