Bibliography of Helder Câmara

Extract

This selected bibliography attempts to supply future students of the life and work of Helder Câmara with an indication of the main sources of information about the man and his ideas. While the amount of published material is large, it is not yet overwhelming. As Schilling remarks: “Bibliographical material about Helder Camara is plentiful, but it is very scattered, since it is mainly found in newspapers and magazines of the whole world. As a true social militant, Helder Camara never loses a chance to speak or to write, to pass on his message. Consequently hardly a day passes without the newspapers of Brazil, Latin America or the world giving some news of him, a declaration, an interview, an account of one of his conferences. Our bishop is News” (Helder Camara [Montevideo, Uruguay: Ediciones La Marcha, 1970]).
