Editorial Reviews

▼▲

Written in a time of pandemic, After Pestilence meditatively brings together the sometimes disparate quiet of contemplation and action for liberation, interreligious encounter and the needs of the poor. Writing from his pandemic seclusion in Chile, Aguilar envisions an ever deeper interaction of people of faith globally, for the sake of the liberation of all …. This is a book for now, and a book for our future. -- Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Harvard University, USA
