Overview

"When Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, there began a new way of the cross, traced for 500 years in the lives of the poor and oppressed peoples of the Americas. These short meditations on the stations - by such figures as Gustavo Guiterrez, Leonardo Boff, Helder Camara, Elsa Tamez and Jon Sobrino - reflect on the passion of Christ against the background of conquest. They write, as Virgil Elizondo says in his preface, to ""invite our readers to take this journey with us, to share our suffering, to experience our crucifixion, and to taste in anticipation our Easter joy"". The editor invites all, rich and poor, black and brown and white, clerics and lay people, to a profound conversion that will stimulate a better world in the Americas, a world of the new humanity enjoying justice, freedom and love."
