Blood of the Innocent
“From February 4 to 20, 1985, I listened to testimony of some sixty persons, civilians in the north of Nicaragua, who had been the victims of kidnappings, bloody ambushes, rapes, and other kinds of assault by the contras, or who had survived the slaughter of their families or civilian friends. “All of the accounts of the men and women I listened to, most of them poor, went straight into my note pad or my tape recorder and from there to these pages. I treated the words of these people with the sacred respect due the blood, death, grief, terror, desperation, and tears of the poor. The speakers are innocent, defenseless victims of a truly ‘dirty war.’ This chronicle is an attempt to gat...
Revolucionarios Por El Evangelio
In this moving volume edited by celebrated Spanish journalist Teófilo Cabestrero, fifteen...men and women explore their twofold identity as Christians and revolutionaries, describing their integration of faith and political conviction within the Sandinista revolution. Despite the diversity of their experiences, the persons interviewed here--judges, doctors, poets, professors, organizers--reveal a shared commitment: to improve the quality of life for the poor in Nicaragua, a commitment rooted in the liberating message of the Gospel.

The Twentieth Century
An examination of the impact of major historical events of the 20th century on the interpretation theologians have given of the Christian message. Events include the World Wars, the Russian Revolution, the Great Depression, Nazism, the Holocaust, welfare capitalism and the free market economy. There follow reflections from a contemporary perspective on important cultural and religious developments of the 20th century.
The Catholic Church and Politics in Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Unlike most recent studies of the Catholic Church in Latin America, Philip J. Williams analyzes the Church in two very dissimilar political contexts-Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Despite the obvious differences, Williams argues that in both cases the Church has responded to social change in remarkably similar fashion. The efforts of progressive clergy to promote change in both countries have been largely blocked by Church hierarchy, fearful that such change will threaten the Church's influence in society.
Reconstructing the Common Good
This landmark study in the history and theory of modern Christian socialism examines the work of such major figures as Rauschenbusch, Tillich, Moltmann, GutiŽrrez, and M'guez Bonino. Dorrien argues that these theologians provide a singular context for addressing questions of freedom and totalitarianism, sacralization and democratization, individual autonomy and the common good. He focuses on the differing conceptions of the common good that these major theorists have propounded, and explicates as well their theological arguments on the relationship between the Kingdom of God and projects of historical praxis. With a new Preface addressing the tumultuous events in Eastern Europe, Reconstructing the Common Good develops and sustains a forceful argument for the continuing relevance of a decentralized, pluralistic, democratic form of socialism.
