This book explores the life, mission, and writings of martyred Salvadorian archbishop St. Óscar Romero in the light of contemporary work for justice and human development.Many historians, theologians, and scholars point to St. Óscar Romero as one of the most perceptive, creative, and challenging interpreters of Catholic social teaching in the post–Vatican II period, while also recognizing the foundational importance of Catholic social teaching in his thought and ministry.Editor Todd Walatka brings together fourteen leading scholars on both Romero and Catholic social teaching, combining essays that contextualize Romero's engagement historically and focus on the challenges facing Christian communities today. The result is a timely, engaging collection of the most rigorous scholarly engagement with Romero and Catholic social teaching to date.Contributors: Ana María Pineda, R.S.M., Michael E. Lee, Matthew Philipp Whelan, Jon Sobrino, S.J., Edgardo Colón-Emeric, David M. Lantigua, Leo Guardado, Stephen J. Pope, Kevin F. Burke, S.J., José Henríquez Leiva, Meghan J.

"Óscar Romero and Catholic Social Teaching is a timely and much needed contribution to the field. The scholars who contribute bring insight not only on Catholic social teaching and tradition in the life of Óscar Romero, but also contribute more widely to discussions associated with theologies of liberation, the preferential option for the poor, human dignity, economic justice, the poor, protest, peace, dialogue, violence and radical nonviolence, war, solidarity, racism, and decolonialism."—Sharon E. Heaney, author of Engaging Latino/a/x Theologies
