Jon Sobrino and Pope Francis

“To examine the use of “the preferential option for the poor”

in theology today, this book turns to two contemporary Jesuits:

Jon Sobrino and Pope Francis. Based on their understanding

of the phrase, this book initiates a debate about the search

for an alternative theological expression. It suggests that

the ‘preferential option for the poor’ should be replaced by

‘compassion for the vulnerable’.”
