It is twenty-five years since Oscar Romero, the prophetic archibishop of San Salvador, was assassinated while celebrating Mass. In death he joined tens of thousands of his fellow Salvadorans, killed in the conflict that engulfed his small Central American nation. In the years since then, his reputation and significance have only grown. Today the very name Romero invokes the church's costly option for the poor, the gospel challenge to confront injustice, the Christian call to discipleship in a world of conflict, and a new face of holiness for our time. First published in 1989, James Brockman's biography remains the definitive portrait of the modern hero and martyr who became a voice of the voiceless.

James R. Brockman, who died in 1996, was a Jesuit priest and a former editor of America magazine.
This is an update of Brockman's The Word Remains: A Life of Oscar Romero ( LJ 12/1/82), his earlier biography of El Salvador's martyred archbishop. LJ 's reviewer called that book an "insightful account of the situation in Central America"; this updated edition has been released in conjunction with the Paulist Pictures film Romero , starring Raul Julia.
