This richly illustrated biography, revised and updated in light of his beatification, tells Oscar Romero's courageous story, beginning with his humble origins and his early life as a relatively conservative priest and bishop, to the astonishing transformation that occurred in the last three years of his life.  It offers a stunning portrait of the gospel challenge for our time.

Scott Wright is the coordinator of the Ecumenical Program on Central America and the Caribbean (EPICA), and coauthor of Oscar Romero: Reflections on His Life and Writings (Orbis, 2000).

Octavio Duran is a Salvadoran Franciscan, currently working in New Jersey. He served as Romero’s personal photographer and accompanied him on many travels.
