Archbishop Romero and Spiritual Leadership in the Modern World
presents a contemporary and integrated understanding of one of the
most remarkable pastoral leaders of our time. This bishop, Oscar
Romero of El Salvador, experienced deeply the overwhelming
sufferings of the Salvadoran people, as well as those within
himself. He cried out in vain to Presidents Carter and Reagan, "no
more arms to El Salvador," but his pleas were not heard at that
time. Knowing that he would soon be murdered, Romero promised that
he would rise again in the Salvadoran people. This book illustrates
how this is happening and conclusively demonstrates that by
respecting transparency and with dogged perseverance, a nonviolent
public leader can become an influential leader, even in times of
the most savage repression and marginalization. Archbishop Romero
accomplished precisely that through determination, courage, and
honing his public skills, while simultaneously conducting himself
in deeply spiritual ways.

During his lifetime, Archbishop Oscar Romero chose to live the
Christian Gospel in a radical way, defending, supporting, and
serving the poor, and confronting the oppressive and murderous
violence of the Salvadoran dictatorship. As a result, in March
1980, while celebrating Mass in a small chapel in El Salvador, he
was assassinated. With Archbishop Oscar Romero, Damian Zynda offers
a compelling examination of the bishop's eventful life. Zynda
delves into the psychological and spiritual depths of Romero's
faith, tracing its progression from his childhood up to the
episcopacy and his prophetic stand against the government.
