Thomas M. Kelly, the rising young Rutilio Grande scholar, is about to present a second book on Grande, the first Jesuit assassinated in El Salvador on March 12, 1977. This publication builds upon Kelly's earlier book on Grande, When the Gospel Grows Feet. Among the strengths of this new book is an even deeper understanding of contextual theology which is essential for new and deeper evangelization in the Church now. Professor Kelly also clearly elaborates on the key role of social analysis in promoting the new evangelization. But most importantly as Kelly himself puts it: "It is impossible to understand Romero without understanding Rutilio Grand, SJ." I definitely recommend this book.
