Poor For The Poor: The Mission Of The Church

Pope Francis says that our human poverty invites us to stay humble and intricately connects us to our brothers and sisters. See how Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, uncovers the liberating and evangelizing mission of the poor Church through his theological and personal reflection in this timeless book. Think about your own mission in life, as he reveals how the Church brings the Kingdom of God into a particular historical, cultural, political, and economic context. Get greater insight into enduring questions in Poor for the Poor: The Mission of the Church, as it looks at the social teaching of the Church, the writings of recent popes as well as the writings of Gustavo Gutierrez and Josef Sayer, and the experiences of the Church in Latin America, including liberation theology. Faith formation leaders, social justice ministers, catechists, pastors, theology students, and lay persons will find this book a thoughtful reflection on how poverty invites us into the blessedness of the Gospel.
