A stylized illustration of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, featuring a halo-like design around his head. At the top of the image, the text reads "Desmond Tutu," and at the bottom, it says "hate has no place in the house of God."

Students in my theology class are reading this amazing and prescient book. Excellent conversation tonight. Lots of good question. Most importantly, students are beginning to ecologize their theological thinking and imaginations.

Beautiful words in tribute to one of the most profound, significant, and influential global theologians of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

What a tremendous life well lived and well loved and well liberated. The people Gutiérrez inspired and touched and freed is innumerable, the children of liberation theology are vast and unstoppable--the reach of liberation theology is continental. Grateful for his witness to Christ FOR the people.

A very fine article, on Gustavo Gutiérrez, by John Allen for Crux.
