This is one of the best books on ecclesiology in Latin America since Leonardo Boff’s spellbinding Church: Charism & Power. Elizabeth O’Donnell Gandolfo and Laurel Marshall Potter have done incredible work in the best tradition of liberation theology. From El Salvador, they show us in deep and expansive ways how poor people are moving and leading the church in Latin America. If you thought liberation theology is dead, read this book. If you thought the church is dead, read this book. If you want to understand how the poor are (again) re-making the church, read this book. And also, if you need songs, art, testimonies and histories about the people of God living with God in these deeply troubled times, please read this book.
