Ground Beneath the Cross - The Theology of Ignacio Ellacuria

Informationen zum Autor Kevin F. Burke, SJ , is acting president and associate professor of systematic theology at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. Klappentext Ellacuria, a Jesuit theologian and writer, was president of the University of Central America at the height of El Salvador's brutal civil war in 1989. His advocacy on behalf of the persecuted provoked the political establishment, and in November of that year, the military invaded the campus and murdered Ellacuria--along with five other Jesuit priests and two women. Kevin F. Burke, S.J., illuminates why Ellacuria is significant not only as a martyr, but also as theologian. Ellacuria has remained little known in English, and Burke not only presents us with the first comprehensive introduction to Ignacio Ellacuria thought, he also places him where he belongs--among the major liberation theologians of the twentieth century. Zusammenfassung An analysis of the thought of Ignacio Ellacuria! the Jesuit philosopher. It shows why Ellacuria is significant not only as a martyr but also as a theologian. It explains how Ellacuria bases theology in a philosophy of historical reality and interprets the suffering of "the crucified people" in the light of Jesus' crucifixion.
