Abstract

While many books have addressed the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador, few have focused enough attention on the university they shaped, the University of Central America (or UCA) in San Salvador. Robert Lassalle Klein, a theologian and scholar of liberation theology, provides us with an historical-theological case study of how an ecclesial and educational institution can embody liberation theology’s call for the preferential option for the poor. After a dramatic account of the brutal murder of the UCA Jesuits and their housekeeper and her daughter, the book proceeds in three sections.
