Theology Without Deception: God, the Poor, and Reality in El Salvador

A theological memoir by way of conversation by one of the foundational figures of liberation theology, Spanish Jesuit Jon Sobrino, who has spent his career in El Salvador. Covers the origins and development of liberation theology, conflicts that ensued with Rome, the persecution of the church, including the massacre of his Jesuit community, and his reflections on the message of his life and work. This is a personal work, discussing Romero, Rutilio Grande, many of his martyrs friends and colleagues; the formation of liberation theology and its legacy; an overview of the making of a particular kind of theologian, a particular model of discipleship.
