Description

For many years, the peasants in Solentiname, a remote archipelago in Lake Nicaragua, gathered each Sunday to reflect on the gospel reading. From recordings of their dialogue, this extraordinary document was composed. First published in the 1970s in four volumes, it was immediately acclaimed as a classic expression of liberation theology--a radical reading of the Good News of Jesus from the perspective of the poor and oppressed.  Over forty years later, and now in condensed ebook format, the message of Jesus as heard by these peasants continues to challenge the rulers of our age and to inspire the poor with the hope of a different world.
