Description
Summary:Leonardo Boff has served the people of God for decades, first as a Franciscan priest and now as a lay theologian. His writings lay out a vision of the church born in the Brazilian rain forests, nurtured by extensive study and training in theology, and strengthened by ecclesiastical ordeal. This essay seeks to honor Boff's significant contributions to post—Vatican II theology by exploring his ecclesiology, as well as its implications for the sacramental life of the faithful and the role of the hierarchy.
