Self-Sacrifice in the Nicaraguan Revolution
Senior Thesis
Finding the Faith: Ecclesial Base Communities
in Post-Revolution Nicaragua
Greg uses the theory of Nancy Jay to show that a move from expiatory
to communal understanding of the Eucharist in Christian base communities
reflects a more egalitarian view of the Roman Catholic Church.
In an original contribution to the study of liberation theology,
Greg explains the changed status of priests in Christian base communities
constitutes a sacrifice of traditional authority.
