In Love That Produces Hope, Kevin Burke and Robert Lassalle-Klein introduce the reader to Ellacuría through a collection of rich essays, including some authored by the most prominent names in liberation theology and political theology. This collection of essays is particularly valuable for the English-speaking world since there is relatively little written by or about Ellacuría that is available in English. In addition, the comprehensive bibliography is a great asset for anyone wanting to encounter the thought of Ellacuría through primary sources.Catholic Studies
