The Principle of Mercy: Taking the Crucified People from the Cross [Paperback] Sobrino, Jon and Barr, Robert R

**The Principle of Mercy: Taking the Crucified People from the Cross** isn't your typical Sunday sermon material. Jon Sobrino, a Jesuit theologian who survived the 1989 massacre at the University of Central America, delivers a raw, unflinching look at liberation theology that'll make you rethink everything about faith and justice.

This powerful collection tackles the "crucified people" – those suffering under oppression, poverty, and violence – and challenges readers to actively participate in their liberation. Sobrino weaves together biblical interpretation, social analysis, and personal experience to argue that true Christianity demands concrete action for the marginalized.

Perfect for theology students, social justice advocates, progressive Christians, and anyone questioning how faith intersects with real-world suffering. Co-translated by Robert R. Barr, this religion and spirituality title doesn't pull punches about uncomfortable truths.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows some character – just like its contents.

**"Challenging and transformative – Sobrino's theology actually matters in the real world." "Finally, a religious book that doesn't avoid the hard questions about suffering and responsibility."**
