¡Presente! The Prophetic Legacy Of Monseñor Oscar Romero, Carmen M. Nanko-Fernández
¡Presente! The Prophetic Legacy Of Monseñor Oscar Romero, Carmen M. Nanko-Fernández
Journal of Hispanic / Latino Theology
This essay, the 2005 Romero Lecture at Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington D.C., assesses the prophetic legacy of the late Salvadoran Archbishop, Mons. Óscar A. Romero, amid reflection on several public sculptures of prophetic figures in Washington and San Juan, Puerto Rico, including Romero and John the Baptist. The author argues that the prophetic is a vital force, making present the brave voices and spirits of the Christian past in words, memory, and public art.
