I received the product in excellent condition. thank you.

Scholars argue that scripture must be interpreted in its proper context in order to uncover the writers true intent. Sobrino argues much the same way in the practice of living out scripture. That the practice of living out scripture be done in one's own context (historical, social, etc.) is a necessary part of the spiritual practice of applying scripture. There may be some concern that this view of applying scripture will lead to different results and may pose a contradiction to those who hold to a standard of interpretation that also promotes an appropriate responce. I guess the question to be asked is can the same method of interpretation lead in various direct when applied as Sobrino suggests. This work will definately give literal interpreters something to talk about.

Retreat director referred to this book a number of times. Just had to buy it for myself and spend more time with it.

"In this book, Jon Sobrino invites us to enter this amazing new world of 'political holiness' in which life is transformed and hope rekindled. Drawing on his rich experience of the church under the cross in El Salvador, his wealth of biblical and theological knowledge and his own creative reflection, Sobrino lays the foundation for the development of a new quality of life with 'spirit' that could profoundly affect social and political struggles in North as well as South America." -- Richard Schaull (from the back cover)
