8vo - 21.5 x 13 cm.; xvi - 213 pp. Translated from the Portuguese by Paul Burns, #4 in the Liberation and Theology series from Burns & Oates. "Speaking from his own experiences living among the very poor in Northeastern Brazil, Comblin examines the effects of the presence of the Spirit in the world and the church. " Comblin argues for the cause of the poor from the two cornerstones of the church, Easter and Pentecost and the latter (the coming of the Spirit) is the historical event with great relevance for the "anawim" of today. The cover edges show a smidgen of shelf wear, otherwise an as-new and unused book.
