Jon Sobrino
Jon Sobrino SJ (born 27 December 1938, Bilbao, Spain) is a Jesuit Catholic priest and theologian, known mostly for his contributions to liberation theology.
Born into a Basque family in Bilbao, Sobrino studied engineering in St Louis in the United States and then theology in Frankfurt in West Germany. He has been based since 1957 in El Salvador and has taught at the Jesuit-run University of Central America (UCA) in San Salvador, which he helped to found.
In 1989 he narrowly escaped being assassinated in an attack which left six of his fellow-Jesuits and two staff dead.
His main works are Christology at the Crossroads (1978) and The True Church and the Poor (1984).
