Prof. Thomas M Kelly
When the Gospel Grows Feet
The Archbishop Romero Trust is extremely grateful to Prof. Thomas M Kelly and his publisher Liturgical Press for giving us permission to make his book available to read online at the Romero Trust website.
Thomas M Kelly is professor of systematic theology at Creighton University. In When the Gospel Grows Feet he asks and finds answers to questions about the martyrdom of Rutilio and his companions, the history of power in El Salvador and the brutal repression of the Catholic church and faith by exploring the church's identity and mission during the colonial period (1500 - 1820) and the transformative impact of Vatican II (1962 - 65) on the Latin American bishops. He considers Rutilio's life, formation, ministry, and death and his impact on Archbishop Romero. Finally, Kelly explains what Rutilio and the church of El Salvador can teach us today.
When the Gospel Grows Feet is available to purchase in paperback or eBook version in the UK at Amazon and in the USA through Liturgical Press.
