Through the publication of his classic work, A Theology of Liberation, Gustavo Guti rrez, a Dominican priest from Lima, Peru, permanently altered the modern theological landscape, challenging all theologians and the world church to hear the gospel message from the "underside of history," the perspective of the poor and oppressed. These selections from his prolific writings, including On Job, We Drink from Our Own Wells, and The God of Life, highlight the deeply spiritual dimension of his work: the encounter with God, the response to suffering, the spirit of contemplation, and the meaning of discipleship.
