Book Description New edition of the classic work on the spirituality of liberation.
“A significant event in the development of liberation theology. We Drink from Our Own Wells is the nuanced articulation of the Christ-encounter as experienced by the poor of Latin American in their struggle to affirm their human dignity and claim their true identity as sons and daughters of God.”—Henri Nouwen
“A helpful manual for all Christians seeking to deepen the roots of their spiritual life while living and working in the strident world of the here and now.”—Robert McAfee Brown
After twenty years, We Drink from Our Own Wells remains a classic expression of Latin American spirituality by a pioneer of liberation theology. Starting from St. Bernard of Clairvaux’s counsel to root spirituality in one’s own experience, Gustavo Gutiérrez outlines the contours of a spirituality rooted in the experience of the poor and their struggle for life. His aim is to reflect on the contemporary “road to holiness”—the passage of a people “through he solitude and dangers of the desert, as it carves out its own way in the following of Jesus Christ. This spiritual experience is the well from which we must drink. From it we draw the promise of resurrection.”
