""Robert McAfee Brown has done an extraordinary job. . . . I have been connected with Latin America for more than four decades and have been at least peripherally associated with these theological developments, yet I have learned a great deal from reading this book. For those who are not well acquainted with Gustavo Gutierrez and liberation theology, this is an excellent introduction. For those who are better informed, it can serve as a guide for further exploration and reflection on its challenge.'' --Richard Shaull ""Brown's Gustavo Gutierrez enables readers to appreciate the context and content of the Peruvian thinker's contribution and to grasp why we have entered a new age of martyrs. This highly readable and carefully researched volume provides an excellent starting point for further study of a wide range of liberationist approaches to Christian theology."" --Anne E. Patrick ""This is the most lucid and appreciative interpretation in the English-speaking world of Gutierrez and his work. The fact that the interpreter is a renowned Protestant theologian is a powerful sign that a South-North ecumenical convergence is in the making ... .'' --Jorge Lara-Braud ""The Gutierrez whom we meet in this book is a man whose deep Christian faith and commitment to revolutionary struggle, whose example and prophetic teaching, should lift the vision and insight of the whole Church.'' --John C. Bennett
