A Grammar of Justice: The Legacy of Ignacio Ellacuria

A Grammar of Justice: The Legacy of Ignacio Ellacuria

November 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the massacre of the Jesuit community of the University of Central America in San Salvador and the death of the rector, Fr. Ignacio EllacurÃa. This volume, drawing on a team of international scholars, focuses on the work of EllacurÃa and its relevance for the future. As the editors note, EllacurÃa â€œhas achieved an international reputation not only in Latin America but throughout the world as one of the most brilliant contributors to Latin American liberation theology and one of the most important Jesuits in the post-conciliar Society and Church.â€ The title refers to Cardinal Newmanâ€™s â€œgrammar of assent,â€ his argument for the role of faith in countering the â€œdebilitating rationalismâ€ of his age. In a similar way, EllacurÃa envisions a â€œgrammar of justiceâ€ as a response to the postmodern apathy of today.
