"[This collection] should be an invaluable resource for many years." - The Heythrop Journal"This volume by Todd Walatka reflects on the multifaceted relationship between Salvadoran bishop and martyr Oscar Romero and Catholic Social Teaching (CST) from various perspectives . . . it becomes clear that not only did CST influence him, but he also influenced CST." - Irish Theological Quarterly"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
