As archbishop of Recife, Brazil he gained an international reputation as a champion of human rights during the era of military dictatorship and for his dedication to the poor. Banned from the media in his own country, he toured the world denouncing oppression in the Third World and making the link between the gospel and liberation. In his many books he communicated a joy-filled, mystical love of God and creation. These selections from his writings highlight his distinctive blend of spirituality and social vision. |

| Publisher Description: St. Paul called on followers of Christ to be 'ambassadors of reconciliation'. In reflections of this and other New Testament texts, Myers and Enns offer a lens for re-reading the entire biblical tradition as a resource for the cause of 'restorative justice' and peacemaking. |
